Howard Manoian, D-Day Vet 82nd Airborne who landed in Normandy on D-Day
"The production shot its first interviews in 2007 with Howard Manoian, a veteran of the U.S. Army 82nd Airborne who landed in Normandy on D-Day and returned many years later to live in the country that he helped liberate.
"With the addition of archive footage and stills we have turned this interview into a short biographical documentary under the title of 'A Soldier's Journey,' which we also hope to launch for the 65th anniversary," Producer Director Richard Lanni said. April 27th, The American Legion Post #43 is showing the film for free to the veterans and post members.

Manoian was recently named a recipient of the Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur by the
French government. He will be presented with the award in June at St. Mere Eglise,where U.S. paratroopers suffered heavy losses during the Normandy invasion.

He was a fake. Manoian has been exposed as a fraud. Military records show that he fabricated his accounts of D-Day and that Manoian arrived on the beaches of Normandy on a supply ship days after the Normandy invasion. See the story on the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8139909.stm
Hopefully his accounts will be removed from the film as they are all lies.
