John Steele

Sainte-Mère-Église, France

A statue of John Steele, an American paratrooper who was part of the D-Day
invasion and whose parachute became tangled in the church steeple.
Although captured, he was lucky as most other paratroopers were
killed during their decent. He later escaped from the Germans.
