Day of Days.....
Look at this picture, and think about being that 18 or 19 year old kid w/ the 100 lbs of water-logged equipment coming thru waist high surf into machine gun fire, mortars and artillery, and still having almost 300 yards of flat, open sand to cross before getting behind a 4 ft high seawall...and then crossing that & climbing a 30 to 60 ft ridge to reach the top of the bluffs where bunkers and trenches and pillboxes awaited you....
The Greatest Generation....indeed it is....
