One of the iconic pieces of gear that men of the 101st Airborne carried with them on D-Day was the cricket. In this episode, we're bringing a cricket from The Gettysburg Museum of History that belonged to a guy in the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment to the area where he landed on D-Day. Plus we're looking at the story of Harrison Summers, who might have performed one of the craziest actions on D-Day.
