Normandy Veteran Ted Owen from Pembroke Dock received a visit from ITV Wales on Monday for an interview and also to congratulate him on receiving the latest medal to his collection, which was the rank of Chevalier in the Ordre national de la Légion d’honneur.

“It was an absolute pleasure to be there with him, he is such a gentleman,” said Mayor of Pembroke Dock, Clr. Peter Kraus.

“To hear all the stories he was telling Kevin Ashford about Normandy was incredible and especially how many times he got wounded and with all the metal still inside his body.

“These veterans should be respected in every way and also thanked for all they did to save our country. Let us remember this at all times and never forget that what they gave for us then was for our today,” he added.
