Our beloved father and grandfather was a World War II Veteran, who was at Utah Beach on D-Day. His Infantry Division was credited with flanking the enemy to give our troops a fighting chance to get off the Beaches of Normandy. The Ninth Infantry Division was also credited for capturing a howitzer long gun that helped keep the enemy at bay that same day. Bonifacio Bones Campos survived many battles in Europe.
