[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 280250, member: 59"] Just wanted to pay respect to all those who served on that historic day. My 89 year old dad came ashore Omaha Beach on DDay+1. Every year I call him to try to get a little more information of that day. His ship sat in the channel on DDay waiting to unload and said they listened to the radio transmissions asking for more ammo and petro. Finally the next day they asked for more troops. I asked if there were a lot of bodies on the beach since 10,000 men died that first day. He said no they had all been moved within 24 hours. But the water was red with blood and they called the beach Red Beach. As they moved into the town they saw american soldiers hanging from buildings and trees as they were killed parachuting down. This day has always meant a lot to me, maybe because I knew he was such a big part of it. There aren't too many people left who lived through that time. Nancy [/QUOTE]
