We salute you and your comrades of Company B, Barnstuf. An internet search tells some history of the 116th Infantry Regiment spearheading the invasion at Omaha Beach on D Day for the 29th Division. Company B was there, in front, leading the attack. The history says the Regiment saw almost 300 days of combat from Omaha Beech to the meet up with the Russians in Germany. What a life you've have had. Thank you for service, courage and sacrifices.
