Sharp look!
And, a small world. A friend's father came ashore on point as a combat engineer for the 4th Infantry over on Utah Beach. A young Navajo from Tuba City, Arizona back then. They put him out front as a sort of scout since he was an Indian. Fortunately, he survived the ordeal, came home and raised a family. He passed on a couple years ago. He liked to point out that not all Navajos were USMC Codetalkers in War 2.
Thank you for remembering the men who clashed on those beaches.
