Since Wednesday, the Utah Beach Museum has been offering an original and moving exhibition featuring life-size portraits of eight D-Day veterans. The exhibits include those of Marine Vernon (aka Moon) Miller; 101st Airborne Division paratroopers Guy Whidden, Leeman Ray Pegrain, and Jim Pee Wee Martin; Georges Shenkle of the 82nd Airborne Division; 4th Infantry Division soldiers Jack Port and John Roman; and Birney Harvey of the 42nd Infantry Division.
These veterans were photographed last year during the June 6th ceremonies by professional photographer Adeline Keil. The eight photos were greatly appreciated by museum officials, who had life-size portraits taken of them.
These beautiful portraits, which were placed in the B-26 hangar, allow “us to put a face to the men of D-Day,” emphasizes Marion Coquoin, communications officer.
