Grandpa’s obituary
The Nevada Appeal wrote an excellent obituary on my grandpa.
From the obituary, the writer mentioned something my grandpa tended to talk about often, and as you will read, for good reason:
He acquired an amateur radio license before graduation from Carson High School in 1940 and during World War II, served in the European Front with the T-5 Signal Corp. where he used his radio skills during the D-Day invasion in what has been called “the greatest secret hoax in military history” to trick the Germans into thinking the invasion would be at Calais, not Normandy. Dolan’s unit was awarded a Certificate of Merit by Gen. Omar Bradley for helping save 100,000 lives.
