Following My Father’s Footsteps In A 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe
Retracing the path of an American GI.
Less than two weeks after D-Day, Warrant Officer Robert J. DeMatio hit Omaha Beach with the 118th Field Artillery Battalion, 30th Infantry Division, XIX Corps, United States 1st Army. It was the first stop on a journey through France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany that wouldn’t end until VE-Day in May 1945, a journey he chronicled in a typewritten history of his “rear echelon” section. Sixty-six years later, that journal in hand, JOE DeMATIO retraces his late father’s route in a Cadillac CTS-V coupe and learns that American power — at least automotive power — is still embraced on the Continent.
