This Veterans Day, we honor Melvin “Bunny” Cooper, Dr. Spokane’s grandfather and a proud member of the U.S. Army’s 29th Infantry Division, 116th Infantry Regiment - the same division that landed on Omaha Beach during D-Day in 1944. 🪖 This victory shot shows the vehicle and white star on the side used to indicate a "friendly" that was on the same side.
Melvin's unit fought across Normandy, France, and into Germany, helping to liberate Europe during World War II. The 29th Division faced some of the heaviest combat of the war and played a key role in the Allied victory. 💫
We remember Melvin “Bunny” Cooper and all who served for their courage, sacrifice, and dedication to freedom. ❤️🇺🇸
