Private John Steele likely never envisioned himself dangling from a church steeple as part of the effort to free France, yet that's exactly where he found himself.
A mannequin of Pvt. Steele adorns the church at Sainte-Mère-Église. It is a must photograph for anyone who visits the town square.
He actually landed the other side of the church but the mannequin was placed this side as a tourist attraction.
John had already jumped into Sicily, and in Italy. He jumped again during Operation Market Garden.
