Now 74, Gibbons was a Captain in the Parachute infantry when Allied forces stormed ashore at Normandy part of the Force of 12,000 men that went first behind the German lines. The hour and the minute Are part of his encyclopedic memory of everything that happened. A the time was 1 26 a.m., june 6, 1944,�?� he recounted years later. A for most of us the rest of the War seems to be a blur with a few High spots Walter r. Mears that we can remember a but a Day and the Day following seemed la be burned into our that is the Day and those Are the memories Clinton will commemorate during an eight Day trip to Europe beginning this week. Hell leave unfinished business at Home and that also involves Gibbons next in line for the chairmanship of the House ways and Means committee a panel that will be crucial in the slowed quest for health care legislation. With rep.
