When you think of the day, think of the hundreds of such complexes that greeted our troops. Imagine having to run 300 or more meters over open sand with no cover while at their mercy.

I do... God bless them and their families... God bless them all.

My father and I both served in the 16th Infantry Regiment who made the landing at Colville Sur Mer. Both of use served post WWII (my father spent WWII in another division in the Pacific), but we got to know many veterans of D-Day including Captain Joe Dawson who led his G Company up the draw and were the first to gain the heights of the bluff. E Company and G Company, who landed at East Red Beach suffered the highest casualties of all of the units landing across the beach in Normandy on D-Day.
