I remember as a kid being way more impressed with the British glider troops than the US airborne
Watching the Ox & Bucks take Pegasus Bridge is a core memory for some reason
Visiting it last year and meeting a woman who was 6 at the time of the invasion & lived next to the bridge was pretty cool

Makes up for having to watch Paul Anka and Fabian take Pointe du Hoc as rangers
Big oopsie.
For comparison, in "Memphis Belle," we at least got Harry Connick, Jr. belting out a few bars!
(Gold Brother, seeing Connick as tail gunner: "Ah, the Elvis role.")
Meeting glider veterans you're like "hey, you're an extra kind of crazy"
Which is something that always impressed me ever since I found out, how many of the actors were not just veterans, but had taken part in D-Day itself.
