US veteran’s D-Day lies exposed

An American veteran who said he parachuted into Normandy as part of the D-Day landings in June 1944 has been exposed as a liar.

Howard Manoian, 84, had been awarded the prestigious French award the Legion d’honneur for bravery.

He claimed he had landed in Sainte-Mere-Eglise in France - the setting of a fierce battle immortalised in the John Wayne film The Longest Day.

But his military records reveal he spent the war behind the front line.

Well, there’s still time to drop him onto Sainte-Mere-Eglise and shoot at him.

These days they would probably bombard him with baguettes and brie.
