Memorial to paratrooper on the church in Sainte-Mére Eglise

Normandy

During the air drop of troops from the 82nd Airborne Division on the morning of June 6, 1944, John Steele's parachute was caught in the roof of the church. He stayed suspended there for 2 hours pretending to be dead. Red Buttons played this part in the movie, The Longest Day.
