Happy 95th Birthday Phyllis Doyle - Heroine

Happy 95th birthday to former British secret agent Phyllis Latour Doyle, who at age 23 parachuted into occupied Normandy in May 1944 to gather intelligence on Nazi positions in preparation for D-Day. As an agent for the British Special Operations Executive (SOE), Doyle secretly relayed 135 coded messages to the British military before France's liberation in August. For seventy years, her contributions to the war effort were largely unheralded but she was finally given her due two years ago when she was awarded France's highest honor, the Chevalier of the Legion of Honour.
