Back in '97 I worked for a small company as a programmer on a game called
101: The Airborne Invasion of Normandy

It was a turned based strategy game that was released commercially in '98.

Working on the production of that game gave me a lot of insight on the soldier's tribulations
in that war.

Much respect to your dad....
