LAHAYE EDWARD J
8TH AIR FORCE
I had the great honor of visiting the Normandy American Cemetery in June, 2023. I walked the grounds until I found a Texas soldier. It was that of Edward J Lahaye. It was truly a moving experience. I hoped to reach out to his family with a photo of his cross, but see it is already posted on this

Let us remember those young soldiers who changed the course of history with their sacrifice. Let us commit ourselves to remembering their sacrifice by cherishing the freedom they bought for all generations that follow.

According to the rejected 1950 PA compensation form filled out by his widow, he served domestically from Nov 7, 1943 to April 15, 1944. Then, he serving overseas from April 30, 1944 to his death. Perhaps he was too late to train for the D-Day invasion.
