Your name LeFebvre Henry E

Did you by any chance keep a diary of what happened to you that day?
No
Were any of your friends killed or wounded either during the landing or
during the day?
I was separted from my platoon all of 6 June
Do you remember any conversations you had with them before they became
casualties?

Were you wounded?
No
Do you remember what it was like--that is, do you remember whether you
felt any pain or were you so surprised that you felt nothing?

Do you remember seeing* or bearing anything that seems funny now, even
though it did not, of course, seem amusing at the time?

the parachute harness to get away because of the
German voices on the edge of the field as I crawled
away a cow with a bell around her neck
stood looking down at me . I was afraid she would
give away my position and I wanted that cow
to move in the worst way- It finally did-

Do you recall any incident, sad or heroic, or simply memorable,which struck
you more than anything else?
