Summary Joining me today to talk about her father is Carol Schultz Vento. You'll all remember him. He was famously played by Richard Beymer in The Longest Day, winning all those dollars in a card game, jumping into Normandy, getting lost and then ending up in a farmyard with Richard Burton's RAF pilot. Well, the real story is even more fascinating. Here are Carol's words: "My father, Arthur 'Dutch' Schultz, was in his late twenties and had the physique of the welterweight boxer and baseball player he once was. Tall, with mercurial blue-green eyes and light brown hair, Dad had a rakish smile that charmed every woman he met. I didn't know at the time, but he had been the boxing champion of his 82nd Airborne regiment, and a combat survivor of the European Campaign in WWII, including a bloody and confused D-Day and nightmarish Battle of the Bulge. To me, he was just Daddy - and my hero. Because Dad was silent about his war experiences, only later did I realize that his war wasn't all fun and games. The traumas that he experienced during his war years would haunt him for decades." Carol's journey to understand her father's war resulted in an excellent book and we are delighted she is joining us to share this powerful story of understanding and forgiveness.
