Chester High senior to veteran recalls D-Day memories
Elio Pulcini, an 18 year old drafted Chester High School senior, landed at Omaha Beach with the 2nd Infantry Division. Now 69, he reflects on the siege and loss, while noting the invasion was not a surprise and sharing moments from dances with Princess Elizabeth and meeting Eisenhower. He remains active in the Knights of Columbus and works as a part time constable.
