I recommend reading this Memorial Day tribute to Wohlstetter’s late uncle in which he presents his uncle’s description of landing with the 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division on Omaha Beach.

And who can forget President Reagan’s June 6, 1984, speech at Normandy on the 40th anniversary of D-Day, when he immortalized the heroism of “the boys of Pointe du Hoc.” It is one of the greatest speeches in our history.
