D-Day Vets have chance meeting in Normandy after 67 yrs

[TxD]

I have a part time hobby with WW II history and ran across this interesting story.

"The last time they left their footprints in the sand together the beach was awash with blood.
Bill Betts and Clifford Baker were young men back then, storming ashore in the D-Day landings against a hail of mortar and machine-gun fire.
Separated when Bill was felled by enemy bullets, they each feared the other must surely have died.
Now, more than 67 years later, the pair have been reunited after a chance encounter at the same Normandy beach. "
