Juno, Sword, Gold, Omaha, and Utah. Code names for Hell.
150,000 soldiers landed on these beaches. Many never made it onto the beach, many never made it off of the beach.
What thoughts must have been going through their minds in those last few minutes, before they landed?
It is hard to imagine the sights, sounds and smells of that massive movement of men and machines, now, to most Americans who have only read about WWII in a book, or seen a movie about it.
Our Greatest Generation – they saved our world. And yet, if you ask them about what they did, most of them will say they didn’t do much. Just their job. Just like the soldiers of today.
Thank You.
