104-year-old WWII veteran Steven Melnikoff sat down with Fox News in Normandy, France, to reflect on his service and share his memories of D-Day.
Joshua Comins is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.
At age 24, Melnikoff served in the 29th Division, 175th in the Infantry, initially in Operation Overlord and then in Normandy, France in the weeks that followed. The decorated veteran earned two Purple Hearts and three Bronze Stars for his bravery. He covers media, politics, breaking news and current events.
"The infantry only got 12 weeks training, but because they knew we were gonna go into this battle, we got 17 weeks training. But then, after 17 weeks, we came over to England, and I trained five additional months… before we went in," Melnikoff said. Story tips can be sent to joshua.comins@fox.com.
