Ok, there's a catch and it's not exactly a small one: you had to serve at Normandy on D-Day 63 years ago.

Since many of these gentlemen might not be on the blogosphere, former TV6 Anchor Carl Zimmermann is asking for help finding them. Carl helps gather these heroes every year for a free dinner at Elliot's Bistro on Milwaukee's East Side. They are welcome to bring their wife or a friend.

Why Elliot's? The owner, Pierre Briere was a little boy in Normandy during the invasion and remembers the kindness and bravery of the American troops. So every year he makes them this awesome meal and doesn't take a dime. Now that's gratitude.

If your father or grandfather served on or around D-Day in Normandy, please encourage them to sign up for this dinner. I covered this as a story during the 60th anniversary and the atmosphere in that room was electric.

You can write me at ted.perry@foxtv.com and I'll give you the number but please do it soon. Pierre needs an accurate headcount.
