“I got some of the shrapnel — it hit my back and I landed right on my face. I fell down in the sand and thought I was dead,” Lt. Sid Salomon recalled of D-Day. “Right then and there, I said to myself that I wasn’t going to die…We went up on toeholds and by digging our fingernails and bayonets into the cliff.”
We’ll always have great men, but we’ll never have better.
We cannot ever forget these men.
Thanks for expressing the respect these men deserved by telling part of their stories.
