Normandy, June 5, Part 1

 

Omaha Beach, Furthest eastern extent of Omaha Beach, Code Name: Fox Red. This section of beach was secured by the First Division – the Big Red One.


To honor my friend, CSM Bill Ryan, I placed flowers and a small American flag at the base of the First Division Monument overlooking Omaha Beach.  Bill passed away in February of this year.  Bill was wounded on the first assault wave on D- Day morning.  He was in the 16th Infantry Regiment of the Big Red One.
