D-Day brothers in arms reunited as Togus roommates

TOGUS — Nearly 70 years ago, Army soldiers Leon Audet and Almo Nickerson served side-by-side on D-Day at Utah Beach in Normandy. Audet, of Winslow, was later wounded and left for dead. Nickerson, of Hallowell, was taken as a prisoner of war. Now, as they struggle with the pain of old war wounds and dementia, the two have been reunited as roommates at VA Maine Healthcare System-Togus.
