On this channel, we've told the story of 101st Airborne medics Bob Wright and Kenneth Moore who set up an aid station in the village of Angoville au Plain on D-Day. Their story is one of the most inspiring to come out of the early fight that took place in Normandy. We're going back to Angoville with 4 veterans of WWII and while we're there, learning a few new things about Robert Wright and what happened in the village after the 101st moved out.
