Al Cerne, 79, of Olathe, jumped in Normandy as part of the 101st Airborne Division and was part of the fighting at the Battle of the Bulge during World War II. His return to Normandy six years ago was the catalyst in being able to speak about his experiences in the war. A yellow flag with the 101st Airborne logo is one of Cerne's few mementos from the war.
