Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. This is a great D-Day “print” which is a photo reel showing four photos from the D-Day Invasion. To the top and bottom are the signatures of about eighteen D-Day Veterans from various units of the Army. The frame measures 15 ¼ x 21 ¼” and has a Certificate of Authenticity on the back for 10 of the signatures. There is a written note that the owner added additional D-Day veterans as he came across them at public displays and shows.
The ten signatures that are verified include Bernard Nolan, Martin Fleisher, Don Jakeway, Bud Anderson, Bob Bearden, Nathan Kleine, George Perrine, Simon Velasquez, Art Staymates, and George Klein.
Note: After his signature was collected, George Klein was later exposed to be lying about participating as a 2nd Ranger at Pointe-du-Hoc on D-Day. The article can be found at this link: https://nypost.com/2017/08/23/96-year-old-vet-hailed-as-a-d-day-hero-admits-to-being-a-fraud/
