Missing Nursing Home D-Day Vet Found at Normandy Celebrations
 LONDON (AP) -- An 89-year old World War II veteran who was reported missing from a nursing home in England has been found in Normandy after traveling to attend D-Day commemorations, police said Friday.Bernard Jordan was last seen at The Pines home in Hove, southern England, on Thursday morning. Staff called police when he did not return that evening. Sussex Police said Friday that another veteran later called to say he and Jordan were at a hotel in Ouistreham, France. Officers also spoke to Jordan and determined he was fine. The force said Jordan left the home wearing his service medals and joined a group of veterans heading to France by bus. Chief Superintendent Nev Kemp tweeted: "Veteran reported missing by care home who said he can't go to Normandy for D-Day remembrance. We've found him there!" A generation of determined men that no obstacle could stop at, even 70 years later. God bless the Greatest Generation. The Nazis couldn't stop him, Nurse Ratchet certainly won't...
