HI TO ALL JUST READ THIS AMAZING STORY AND WANTED TO TELL YOU ALL.. I KNOW ITS BETTER TO COME FROM A VETERAN BUT ITS ANOTHER STORY FROM THE DARK DAYS OF UNCERTAINTY .. FROM ENGLAND
THIS IS A STORY OF STAN JEAVONS,A YOUNG LIEUTENANT IN THE PARACHUTE REGIMENT, WHO WAS TOLD HE COULDN'T HAVE LEAVE TO SEE HIS WIFE NANCY AND THEIR FIRST BABY SON.
AS HE FLEW BY MILITARY PLANE TO JOIN OTHER SERVICE PERSONNEL ON THE SOUTH COAST, HE CASUALLY ASKED WHETHER THEY WERE NEAR THE WEST MIDLANDS.
HE THEN OPENED THE DOOR OF THE DAKOTA AND PARACHUTED OUT.
HOURS LATER, WHEN HE ARRIVED HOME IN COSELEY, DUDLEY, TWO MILITARY POLICEMEN WERE WAITING FOR HIM.
A FAMILY FRIEND SAID: "STAN TOLD THE POLICE THEY COULD DO IT THE HARD WAY AND HE TAPPED HIS STEN GUN - OR THEY COULD LET HIM INSIDE TO HOLD THE BABY THEN GO QUIETLY."
HE GOT HIS FIVE MINUTES AND WITH D-DAY LOOMING, HE AVOIDED A COURT MARTIAL AND BECAME THE FIRST OFFICER IN HIS REGIMENT TO PARACHUTE INTO OCCUPIED FRANCE.
AFTER SIX DECADES OF SECRECY THE STORY HAS COME TO LIGHT BECAUSE, AT THE AGE 88, STAN HAS DIED.
HIS SON SAID: "HAD HE BEEN KILLED, I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT HE HAD HELD ME, KISSED ME, LOVED ME.
"THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST TREASURES OF MY LIFE."
A FANTASTIC AND MOVING STORY ....
ANOTHER HERO..... MAKES YOU THINK WHAT YOU WOULD DO IN HIS SITUATION ????????????????
