My grandfather was at Utah Beach as well, 4th infantry division 8th infantry regiment. He went in with the second wave and survived d- day without being wounded. He was late wounded at least twice. Once in the push to Cherbourg. Later he got bombed by our own air Corp in the preparatory bombardment for operation cobra.
