[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 251788, member: 59"] I love reading these stories. My Dad landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day+1. He said by the time he got there all the dead and wounded had been removed but there was blood everywhere. He was a medic so he saw some pretty horrific stuff. Just like in the movies their ship pulled up and let down this plank and all the men and gear just piled off into the water toward shore. I grew up watching all the old b&w WWII movies and listened to his stories for hours. He was in the 110th Engineers. He built bridges when he wasn;t tending to the injured. And then they blew them up after they crossed. He shared a foxhole with his cousin at times. When he was in the hospital several years ago very ill after surgery, he hallucinated and was talking to Bennie about getting in the foxhole. Nancy [/QUOTE]
