Eyewitness on Omaha Beach: A story about D-Day, June 6, 1944

“It was now 6:30 a.m. We saw and heard the frightening sounds of rockets being fired at the beach. This was from a barge on our port side…Some of my buddies from Company A were directly in front of us. They were getting ready to land. I was about to face death…. “The tank farthest away had a dead soldier hanging from its turret. It was knocked out. The other tank was firing its 76mm cannon at the enemy. About 200 yards from the wall, we were ankle deep in water…My rifle…was hit and vibrated. [It} had a clean hole in its receiver, in front of the trigger guard. My bullets in the receiver had stopped the German bullet from penetrating the rifle to hit my chest.” - From Eyewitness on Omaha Beach
