[Redleg Duke]

Wasn’t he the one who also said, “Only two kinds of people are going to remain on this beach, the dead and those who are going to die!”?

I believe it was a colonel (played by Robert Mitchum) on Omaha beach...

[topher]

That person who said that was 'Brig. Gen. Norman Cota' of the 29th Infantry Division and was on Omaha beach, not Utah.

Omaha was a real mess, and issue was in doubt in the morning...

'Brig. Gen. Norman Cota' won the 'Distinguished Service Cross' for HEROICALLY leading the BREAKTHROUGH on Omaha.

Again, he was played Robert Mitchum in the movie 'The Longest Day'.

Thanks for the suggestion, I first read about TR Jr., many years ago when I read Doug Wead’s book, “All The President’s Children.” I was absolutely astonished since I did not know anything about him. What an incredible story. I will definitely check out the book by Jeffers.
