  2. Great thread!!
     
  3. My grandfather was supposed to be first wave on Omaha Beach but injured himself in training. Instead he went in during the breakout phase.
     
  4. My great uncle and his friend stormed Omaha beach. His friend died a few steps onto the beach and he went down from friendly fire but lived. Before the beach they made a pact. My uncle agreed to take care of his friend's girlfriend if his friend didn't make it back home. When my uncle got home he married her and they lived happily ever after.
