Charles Durning

The actor Charles Durning talks about when he was a 21 year old private on D-Day.

He went into Omaha beach.

He paints some powerful images and you can see how hard it is for him to tell his story. It rather moving towards the end when you see some other D-Day veterans and you can see how it really struck a chord.
