Carl Felton joined the U.S.Navy after graduating from high school in 1943, even though he didn't know how to swim. Felton was then trained in communications and sent to England to be part of the pivotal effort to attack Hitler's Atlantic Wall and establish a western front against Nazi Germany.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Felton shares his memories of the vast armada of ships off the coast of Normandy, later escaping an attempted attack from a German soldier in France, and surviving a harrowing mission in the North Atlantic.
