Angels from The Sky (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798686044791)

French farmer, Thierry Ferey, from Normandy, France, was born with a mission. In his adult years, it became his quest to seek out, and visit some of the World War II heroes of the US Army - 101st Airborne Division - Screaming Eagles, who parachuted to the shores of Carentan, Normandy, France on June 6, 1944. He personally visited men who survived the Normandy invasion, and the families of those who gave their lives for the liberalization of France.ANGELS FROM THE SKY is a product of Ferey's quest. It speaks of personal stories of not only the author's brother-in-law, Edward Charles Hayden, who sacrificed his life, but several other courageous paratroopers Ferey was able to contact.During his youth, Thierry Ferey's parents often related their stories of living under the 4-year occupation of the German regime, when they literally took over their homes. With the D-Day emancipation by the Americans, the words of his father still ring in his ears, "They brought to our people a new life, a new hope. A new wind then blew at Normandy, a Liberty's wind." ANGELS FROM THE SKY is filled with personal stories, written history, and pictorial views of the D-Day Invasion of June 6, 1944. Cora Lee Palma-Hayden has completed another labor of Love with this book; documenting not only an historical event, but the lives of so many people, past and present, on both sides of the Atlantic. If all history were written like this, how much more interesting it would be. She is to be commended for digging up the documentation that fills these pages, and connecting it to real lives, real people, real places.-- John Vincent Palozzi, author and artist
