MN man carries family ties to France to re-enact D-Day parachute jump

St. Louis County sheriff's deputy Warren Johnson sorts through gear as his daughter Eliana, 3, plays in the basement of their home in Goodland, Minn., in early May. Johnson will wear a parachute system that weighs 45 pounds and 20 more pounds of gear when he plays the role of an American paratrooper during a re-enactment of D-Day in Normandy, France, on the 75th anniversary of the historic event next week.
