Roy O'Neill present at the seasonal reopening of the D-Day Omaha Museum

The D-Day Omaha Museum in Vierville reopened for the season on a Saturday morning, in the presence of veteran Roy O'Neill and the mayor, Antoine de Bellaigue. 91-year-old Roy O'Neill was invited by Tenno Dogger, president of Deep Respect, an association established at the museum of which he was an honorary member.

Tenno Dogger presented his military career: landing at Sword Beach on June 6, 1944 within the Royal Corps of Signals, injury in Caumont-l'Éventé on July 31, 1944, then participation in many operations. The story quoted in the cut mentioned Overlord, Cobra, the Ardennes, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, a return to Paris, then Egypt, Syria and Japan, before his return to England in 1948. His courage and tenacity were praised on this occasion.

The photograph shows Roy O'Neill surrounded by Tenno Dogger, on the left, and Fabien Brissard, presented as the owner of the museum, on the right.

The practical information published at the time indicated the Grandcamp route museum, in Vierville-sur-Mer, the number 02 31 21 71 80 and the website dday-omaha.fr. The announced hours were 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in April, May and September, and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. in June, July and August.

Reconstructed or uncertain passages:
- The file name places the cut in March 2015, but the full date of publication is not visible.
- The military career is the one presented by Tenno Dogger and reported by the newspaper; this rewriting does not constitute an independent verification of the service records.
- The address, phone number, site and schedules are the historical information of the cut, not the updated visit information.
