They went through that, but then when they got done with this training and they were getting ready for the actual invasion, they took them, dispersed them amongst the regular troops. And the guy that ran this training for the 29th Rangers was a guy named Major Mill Holland. And he sent a letter to his daughter, and th... | <0>1262<0>2935<0>3274<0>1401<0>1416<0>2208<0>807<0>2662<0>1275<0>1275<0>3515<0>1971<0>461<0>4036<0>1406<0>492<0>3496<0>475<0>1611<0>1684<0>475<0>2536<0>3980<0>870<0>1326<0>1157<0>2510<0>1924<0>929<0>475<0>2196<0>3475<0>1131<0>2415<0>3<0>1539<0>2388<0>2714<0>847<0>623<0>1304<0>2068<0>2662<0>792<0>1611<0>2776<0>2848<0>31... |
And above all, the American should be taught discipline and decent living. | <0>3537<0>546<0>1684<0>2510<0>1470<0>2146<0>4008<0>1441<0>1441<0>2753<0>2255<0>702<0>3046<0>892<0>3144<0>516<0>4009<0>2860<0>1352<0>193<0>3776<0>2777<0>3969<0>2920<0>2029<0>966<0>219<0>2415<0>2033<0>3140<0>4005<0>2734<0>3278<0>448<0>1689<0>475<0>475<0>3287<0>1936<0>3935<0>3758<0>2699<0>3457<0>2402<0>3278<0>256<0>3575<0... |
Then he should be given a year of the toughest kind of military training. | <0>1651<0>1547<0>3793<0>2777<0>193<0>4031<0>3776<0>3759<0>3498<0>1309<0>792<0>1651<0>3759<0>3793<0>279<0>2510<0>3974<0>1309<0>1225<0>3264<0>2619<0>3112<0>1547<0>3850<0>2709<0>521<0>595<0>3969<0>3974<0>3177<0>448<0>990<0>3229<0>901<0>256<0>926<0>3500<0>2530<0>3401<0>2896<0>178<0>2714<0>461<0>1108<0>1056<0>2068<0>2068<0>... |
Not the kind that we know, but the kind I gave my Rangers. | <0>646<0>4068<0>1936<0>1721<0>256<0>2872<0>3112<0>2163<0>2111<0>3401<0>3888<0>1286<0>587<0>3673<0>2753<0>545<0>1482<0>1520<0>1695<0>3903<0>1292<0>352<0>2299<0>3404<0>1303<0>2638<0>644<0>623<0>1227<0>1028<0>1525<0>1684<0>2070<0>3498<0>3131<0>2684<0>43<0>2151<0>3888<0>644<0>298<0>1673<0>1323<0>1819<0>401<0>3535<0>2192<0>... |
I hear of those boys now and then, and although they are almost all gone now, they have done unbelievable things and are spoken of almost in a tone of reverence by officers and men alike who have fought with them. They were men. | <0>356<0>595<0>230<0>3673<0>2619<0>922<0>2626<0>3348<0>3174<0>880<0>880<0>1153<0>4007<0>2521<0>3877<0>1525<0>3793<0>298<0>3974<0>3974<0>3809<0>3840<0>1955<0>586<0>1401<0>1547<0>3872<0>557<0>787<0>922<0>1869<0>1726<0>146<0>2662<0>4031<0>1755<0>2847<0>2439<0>3935<0>3020<0>2615<0>3974<0>3067<0>3618<0>1547<0>2536<0>2541<0>... |
And train hard. And learn about discipline. You parents out there, get your kids training. Sports. | <0>3917<0>3274<0>3005<0>433<0>2656<0>926<0>1886<0>1952<0>521<0>1620<0>3960<0>1078<0>647<0>1376<0>4058<0>2007<0>4058<0>3179<0>2<0>1298<0>1298<0>1298<0>1676<0>1676<0>869<0>3194<0>1080<0>1320<0>2133<0>715<0>2753<0>2753<0>3115<0>2079<0>448<0>3850<0>2286<0>1921<0>3144<0>1834<0>1748<0>116<0>1071<0>1071<0>2853<0>979<0>869<0>2... |
Now fast forwarding because they went back to their regular army units and they continued to train and prepare for the invasion and | <0>2244<0>546<0>1921<0>2365<0>482<0>1165<0>1165<0>3003<0>2323<0>1525<0>1081<0>607<0>746<0>666<0>1191<0>1214<0>3118<0>525<0>2393<0>1885<0>3606<0>3466<0>702<0>869<0>702<0>1376<0>702<0>71<0>3447<0>2070<0>3128<0>3399<0>2079<0>1028<0>2715<0>3734<0>3673<0>298<0>2415<0>3118<0>874<0>3115<0>1214<0>1620<0>1520<0>1153<0>1153<0>40... |
Bob Slaughter is assigned to D Company, 116th Infantry, 29th Infantry Division. And I'm fast forwarding right now, straight to D-Day. | <0>124<0>2864<0>1232<0>447<0>3591<0>2448<0>340<0>2415<0>1328<0>3617<0>2543<0>2543<0>627<0>490<0>3439<0>2682<0>1286<0>3737<0>4055<0>1236<0>3556<0>3708<0>773<0>1469<0>3399<0>528<0>4046<0>1305<0>2976<0>697<0>228<0>1684<0>2207<0>2448<0>393<0>2153<0>2490<0>3776<0>3243<0>3529<0>2306<0>122<0>912<0>2856<0>2776<0>2632<0>773<0>1... |
Straight to his perception of D-Day and what it was like for him. | <0>765<0>3181<0>1232<0>874<0>3793<0>1080<0>1987<0>3498<0>230<0>230<0>2192<0>3417<0>52<0>3277<0>3348<0>193<0>3160<0>1921<0>3793<0>2671<0>2625<0>2566<0>1209<0>3024<0>2720<0>1241<0>2714<0>768<0>662<0>133<0>2240<0>1783<0>3652<0>4021<0>92<0>3898<0>3974<0>1153<0>1856<0>2513<0>893<0>3898<0>1869<0>173<0>1304<0>1784<0>2035<0>14... |
You know, this is all that training that these guys have been through and none of them had been to combat before. So this is it. Their first operation is D-Day. | <0>768<0>3111<0>235<0>3918<0>3200<0>880<0>2842<0>869<0>2007<0>3726<0>3129<0>3237<0>3237<0>3237<0>3116<0>1957<0>3278<0>3713<0>14<0>22<0>517<0>3769<0>4068<0>1298<0>2562<0>3928<0>3805<0>1659<0>3026<0>1780<0>2956<0>1525<0>2953<0>2734<0>3673<0>926<0>3194<0>1151<0>1748<0>1916<0>3913<0>1170<0>546<0>3249<0>3793<0>3793<0>1501<0... |
Back to the book. About 150 yards from the shore, despite the warning from someone behind me to keep your head down, I cautiously peeped up. I could see that craft. | <0>1262<0>1010<0>269<0>2829<0>1671<0>196<0>196<0>3115<0>692<0>1127<0>693<0>641<0>1740<0>2742<0>4094<0>1620<0>2142<0>2735<0>3980<0>4009<0>3809<0>715<0>2581<0>1547<0>1438<0>3758<0>373<0>3782<0>4009<0>1490<0>1547<0>1921<0>3278<0>2777<0>3287<0>2707<0>2510<0>697<0>1909<0>693<0>2892<0>193<0>3850<0>1931<0>1525<0>4002<0>3591<0... |
That the craft about 25 yards to our right and a couple of hundred yards ahead were targeted by small arms. Fiery tracy tracer bullets skipped off. Skipped and bounced off the ramp and sides as they zeroed in before the ramps fell. | <0>1376<0>3236<0>4009<0>1928<0>2656<0>167<0>479<0>2512<0>226<0>2753<0>3122<0>3102<0>1954<0>2305<0>2603<0>3695<0>521<0>1232<0>373<0>2619<0>2619<0>451<0>3504<0>545<0>545<0>1954<0>1028<0>3439<0>1860<0>2600<0>76<0>2275<0>2915<0>4013<0>3122<0>2753<0>586<0>2865<0>922<0>1980<0>4031<0>3401<0>2619<0>2077<0>1726<0>3380<0>3911<0>... |
I said to anyone close enough to hear above the bedlam, men, we are going to catch hell. Be ready. Then it began to happen. | <0>1903<0>595<0>3535<0>657<0>2674<0>3455<0>2109<0>2603<0>3776<0>545<0>93<0>3563<0>3809<0>2543<0>3966<0>1928<0>1232<0>1665<0>3793<0>3457<0>2604<0>3673<0>2517<0>2753<0>3212<0>2140<0>423<0>1591<0>870<0>922<0>677<0>3131<0>2299<0>870<0>3287<0>657<0>3156<0>774<0>4046<0>952<0>2625<0>3913<0>4058<0>2007<0>4058<0>3237<0>4058<0>3... |
Enemy artillery and mortar shells sent great plumes of water spouting skyward as they exploded in the water. Near misses rained us with seawater. | <0>3<0>2935<0>2662<0>3498<0>2415<0>1129<0>3824<0>3278<0>1981<0>1924<0>1684<0>1011<0>1563<0>1792<0>1954<0>3122<0>1257<0>2777<0>3141<0>545<0>3489<0>3850<0>1525<0>1151<0>1223<0>3766<0>1214<0>623<0>3087<0>2350<0>3101<0>1309<0>3177<0>1305<0>538<0>3888<0>3493<0>3493<0>1954<0>1518<0>2422<0>3278<0>2588<0>1665<0>169<0>2471<0>24... |
I suddenly became very worried about what Jerry would do to us. | <0>2359<0>219<0>3535<0>2070<0>3521<0>2581<0>338<0>2343<0>1306<0>1011<0>1322<0>679<0>1401<0>130<0>3439<0>1464<0>3493<0>1304<0>1275<0>2657<0>2099<0>1083<0>2307<0>2316<0>490<0>2415<0>482<0>1304<0>4065<0>760<0>4024<0>1647<0>521<0>3655<0>3602<0>3918<0>662<0>760<0>2568<0>274<0>3918<0>490<0>2094<0>3535<0>1968<0>3276<0>2068<0>... |
How in the hell did those sons of bitches survive what we thought was a carpet bombing and un-shelling of the beach? | <0>3245<0>644<0>2471<0>3135<0>3006<0>2834<0>379<0>3112<0>2654<0>2669<0>612<0>3140<0>3809<0>229<0>1802<0>544<0>1978<0>3974<0>3966<0>3918<0>3493<0>3969<0>3005<0>3966<0>2734<0>2299<0>545<0>2415<0>521<0>3401<0>2675<0>3493<0>2753<0>3313<0>663<0>4036<0>3237<0>1153<0>3888<0>3781<0>3708<0>1981<0>1954<0>3333<0>545<0>448<0>3358<... |
At Slapped in Sands, we trained with live explosions, but these were far more frightening. | <0>685<0>3081<0>687<0>3278<0>2872<0>2735<0>3358<0>448<0>926<0>1355<0>2448<0>1525<0>2275<0>1469<0>913<0>814<0>2713<0>646<0>2847<0>1497<0>692<0>3177<0>2811<0>596<0>1232<0>1674<0>3177<0>3145<0>1304<0>2722<0>2415<0>3782<0>3911<0>298<0>334<0>2369<0>2123<0>922<0>1286<0>2948<0>3271<0>792<0>3966<0>1859<0>2696<0>2033<0>1262<0>2... |
This time, they were shooting to kill every one of us. | <0>1269<0>3020<0>4050<0>3421<0>1921<0>1921<0>3271<0>2316<0>2<0>3772<0>195<0>1227<0>1611<0>1819<0>3094<0>2777<0>3793<0>929<0>1227<0>3728<0>3537<0>496<0>544<0>2581<0>1620<0>3730<0>1170<0>2643<0>2173<0>4021<0>2531<0>1055<0>2684<0>1322<0>482<0>129<0>3174<0>3174<0>2697<0>1819<0>3535<0>2978<0>1097<0>589<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<... |
The craft slowed as we scraped a submerged sandbar, which kept us from a dry landing. Everyone wanted to get the hell off that rocking boat, but the coxswain had trouble dropping the steel ramp. | <0>3493<0>1352<0>1721<0>2767<0>3227<0>595<0>491<0>3850<0>2752<0>2196<0>584<0>3888<0>929<0>2651<0>1551<0>3731<0>2218<0>824<0>584<0>2615<0>3793<0>3278<0>2734<0>2773<0>2593<0>715<0>926<0>3924<0>3725<0>193<0>448<0>2079<0>1819<0>484<0>3974<0>3278<0>3278<0>45<0>1921<0>1792<0>411<0>2865<0>827<0>993<0>287<0>3974<0>193<0>136<0>... |
When it finally slammed and splashed down, the front of the boat began to buck like a wild stallion, raising six or seven feet, turning slightly sideways, and then slamming down again. | <0>1464<0>298<0>1230<0>36<0>521<0>1525<0>1980<0>2948<0>397<0>1470<0>1525<0>45<0>298<0>792<0>3439<0>1490<0>1098<0>545<0>2163<0>245<0>3995<0>3893<0>1525<0>3980<0>2415<0>2316<0>3315<0>852<0>1464<0>1469<0>1490<0>2415<0>1138<0>3135<0>870<0>3067<0>2989<0>1406<0>2161<0>3194<0>2275<0>2776<0>163<0>2644<0>2735<0>1911<0>2654<0>14... |
The first man went to exit off about mid ramp. The craft surged forward and crushed the poor fellow to death. | <0>717<0>4009<0>3131<0>279<0>2734<0>2615<0>1525<0>1866<0>2415<0>1304<0>3160<0>808<0>1798<0>1312<0>397<0>1547<0>3273<0>670<0>3575<0>3129<0>2007<0>869<0>3962<0>3489<0>2512<0>3957<0>3888<0>1921<0>2865<0>3107<0>587<0>2935<0>1563<0>3974<0>1525<0>3334<0>384<0>352<0>1942<0>702<0>869<0>3469<0>3419<0>1352<0>1721<0>245<0>2415<0>... |
So I jumped off and moved away from the crazy erratic landing craft. Luckily, I didn't see anyone else get hit by the ramp. | <0>2731<0>2978<0>4008<0>595<0>623<0>984<0>1232<0>1886<0>3924<0>521<0>3962<0>3444<0>475<0>2316<0>3974<0>170<0>3297<0>2615<0>475<0>2375<0>3112<0>2316<0>490<0>2853<0>2771<0>715<0>926<0>2948<0>1011<0>3128<0>545<0>286<0>1525<0>3401<0>1289<0>475<0>901<0>3439<0>3194<0>1611<0>1721<0>2471<0>3877<0>3377<0>199<0>2666<0>1071<0>869... |
I was now struggling in water up to my armpits. Luckily for me at six foot five, most of the time my head was above water. | <0>3440<0>1981<0>2070<0>1547<0>3980<0>2070<0>409<0>2196<0>3972<0>677<0>2662<0>1011<0>1611<0>2707<0>286<0>1777<0>3877<0>3925<0>3702<0>3877<0>1759<0>3844<0>521<0>2316<0>1591<0>900<0>2291<0>2448<0>1217<0>3463<0>3831<0>692<0>1232<0>521<0>3962<0>3020<0>850<0>291<0>1611<0>623<0>3498<0>2188<0>20<0>2070<0>1653<0>2762<0>3974<0>... |
Later as I crossed the beach, my height would be a detriment, making me a larger target. | <0>1066<0>3135<0>553<0>1833<0>1850<0>2543<0>2028<0>3496<0>1721<0>479<0>479<0>3535<0>2141<0>527<0>3908<0>1306<0>2494<0>1593<0>2777<0>2777<0>1755<0>1551<0>2425<0>922<0>2716<0>1240<0>1525<0>1611<0>3067<0>2425<0>3585<0>2480<0>662<0>901<0>3976<0>572<0>3249<0>2365<0>1391<0>2924<0>2662<0>3278<0>1654<0>3655<0>2603<0>1981<0>195... |
Meanwhile, as I tried to get to shore, shorter men grabbed my clothing to keep their heads above water. | <0>1322<0>3020<0>546<0>1611<0>3702<0>3515<0>1232<0>2079<0>2869<0>1312<0>3185<0>1469<0>656<0>940<0>3673<0>230<0>2581<0>2973<0>1011<0>2777<0>3278<0>189<0>1954<0>521<0>2271<0>195<0>2588<0>1315<0>3636<0>189<0>3067<0>1533<0>3115<0>2641<0>1525<0>901<0>1227<0>2498<0>3263<0>2619<0>219<0>2471<0>10<0>2163<0>3622<0>325<0>2654<0>9... |
Suddenly as fear replaced seasickness, I was no longer cold. Most of all, I feared I would drown after being shot. Snipers hiding in the bluffs hit quite a few men. | <0>1290<0>2192<0>2070<0>2070<0>2149<0>2662<0>3585<0>1516<0>3928<0>1028<0>3278<0>2323<0>1555<0>3793<0>3793<0>4009<0>1981<0>3972<0>2622<0>2510<0>1035<0>3278<0>396<0>3793<0>2948<0>3278<0>3591<0>2724<0>3509<0>3160<0>2094<0>687<0>1859<0>692<0>2715<0>492<0>2543<0>2581<0>2196<0>584<0>2415<0>2415<0>1611<0>1921<0>2417<0>3782<0>... |
But most of the damage came from rapid firing automatic weapons. | <0>1066<0>1981<0>3888<0>3067<0>2773<0>814<0>3529<0>1651<0>2603<0>2415<0>792<0>188<0>3278<0>41<0>1869<0>1981<0>1227<0>2615<0>595<0>3227<0>3141<0>1684<0>2267<0>2541<0>2415<0>1191<0>3115<0>3776<0>1611<0>1860<0>1929<0>3563<0>2512<0>490<0>1799<0>1010<0>1010<0>3622<0>1712<0>1575<0>1338<0>3263<0>1012<0>3290<0>2986<0>3693<0>28... |
In every war since gunpowder was invented, soldiers have experienced the dreaded feeling of being under live enemy fire for the first time. | <0>209<0>623<0>1058<0>2935<0>1401<0>3131<0>2485<0>1611<0>1406<0>586<0>340<0>495<0>2978<0>3141<0>3850<0>2097<0>2196<0>677<0>1611<0>219<0>2415<0>1819<0>1819<0>3493<0>1981<0>627<0>3776<0>3297<0>219<0>3776<0>4018<0>2581<0>792<0>4018<0>2784<0>1626<0>1626<0>3930<0>2775<0>3489<0>2976<0>3824<0>3604<0>1490<0>1232<0>1434<0>1005<... |
It was demoralizing to hear good men scream as bullets ripped into soft flesh and others scream as the fierce flooding tide dragged the non-swimmers under. | <0>1814<0>690<0>3131<0>2962<0>3131<0>1611<0>3776<0>2043<0>1081<0>3911<0>2415<0>2735<0>1547<0>2603<0>3730<0>2581<0>1967<0>2581<0>3974<0>3819<0>2626<0>1309<0>2425<0>3177<0>901<0>3141<0>1547<0>2588<0>3995<0>3987<0>922<0>2581<0>1848<0>1684<0>2<0>665<0>3400<0>1312<0>814<0>196<0>2615<0>340<0>584<0>2196<0>1547<0>3493<0>298<0>... |
I remember helping Private Ernest McCandless, who is struggling to get closer in. | <0>1759<0>595<0>2102<0>1721<0>3273<0>1010<0>1304<0>2619<0>45<0>1846<0>3730<0>2291<0>1611<0>3194<0>2619<0>2415<0>2976<0>2173<0>93<0>1165<0>3129<0>647<0>869<0>869<0>2307<0>1978<0>3404<0>2698<0>1547<0>2055<0>2808<0>1198<0>3116<0>3071<0>4007<0>3177<0>3434<0>1386<0>1547<0>3401<0>1060<0>1620<0>3850<0>317<0>3780<0>589<0>3071<... |
He still had one of the precious boxes of .30 caliber machine gun ammo. | <0>1961<0>853<0>3046<0>3850<0>2070<0>3489<0>4009<0>340<0>2415<0>2956<0>3840<0>2747<0>551<0>2471<0>479<0>3005<0>448<0>2509<0>3730<0>545<0>521<0>3160<0>627<0>2626<0>4028<0>1717<0>715<0>715<0>2581<0>2773<0>219<0>545<0>3730<0>677<0>475<0>1445<0>1749<0>3439<0>1447<0>3591<0>926<0>1562<0>2316<0>2357<0>1860<0>287<0>602<0>3981<... |
I remember him shouting to me, Slaughter, are we going to get through all of this? I didn't know how to answer him, so I didn't say anything. To tell the truth, I thought we were all going to die. | <0>769<0>4009<0>3131<0>1525<0>2510<0>1525<0>3776<0>2777<0>3278<0>3976<0>3617<0>792<0>1684<0>1611<0>2603<0>1089<0>2145<0>3535<0>3966<0>2976<0>479<0>1232<0>2517<0>1226<0>3196<0>2415<0>2146<0>926<0>1470<0>340<0>546<0>926<0>1547<0>2702<0>1363<0>3974<0>3067<0>479<0>189<0>3067<0>2196<0>2070<0>607<0>22<0>421<0>3276<0>2754<0>3... |
A body with its life preserver inflated floated by. | <0>1846<0>3730<0>2415<0>898<0>1547<0>2662<0>3067<0>1547<0>3360<0>2752<0>1232<0>1547<0>3743<0>3809<0>3401<0>417<0>1819<0>3974<0>2350<0>3663<0>1270<0>2196<0>3135<0>3135<0>1214<0>2180<0>2407<0>690<0>3537<0>926<0>36<0>417<0>3974<0>3177<0>1684<0>2365<0>3877<0>3877<0>1010<0>1268<0>390<0>3116<0>869<0>602<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<... |
The face had turned, already turned a dark purple. | <0>96<0>2639<0>1434<0>3695<0>1525<0>3793<0>3278<0>230<0>337<0>3278<0>2510<0>1328<0>753<0>792<0>2140<0>2024<0>3563<0>479<0>2510<0>2905<0>373<0>334<0>2541<0>3115<0>792<0>4065<0>1232<0>2510<0>3333<0>1267<0>2348<0>1819<0>3730<0>3493<0>3562<0>2417<1>3687<1>2850<1>3375<1>2648<1>1156<1>2427<1>1689<1>2092<1>2700<1>3264<1>3264<... |
At first I thought it was Private Richard Gomez who had a dark complexion, but I later found out that Gomez had survived the day. The fellow I saw was just one of thousands who died. There is no way to be sure if I had known him. | <0>2411<0>1232<0>3832<0>1007<0>484<0>193<0>447<0>3673<0>3401<0>1954<0>1232<0>3974<0>1490<0>1098<0>2415<0>3185<0>2976<0>2843<0>3730<0>298<0>3537<0>336<0>1870<0>3974<0>340<0>2843<0>2120<0>193<0>226<0>1846<0>2415<0>2480<0>2896<0>2619<0>2753<0>1039<0>2316<0>1434<0>3067<0>2656<0>1653<0>3<0>303<0>3129<0>702<0>1376<0>4058<0>8... |
Many of our company were hit in the water and drowned. Good swimmers are not. | <0>3087<0>1547<0>2603<0>2662<0>1819<0>677<0>2503<0>1921<0>1304<0>1227<0>1147<0>3972<0>12<0>1306<0>183<0>2<0>3455<0>440<0>3888<0>3493<0>1191<0>2415<0>3404<0>1973<0>3397<0>2306<0>3935<0>3128<0>1617<0>1886<0>2316<0>3220<0>2126<0>1497<0>141<0>1262<0>3935<0>3809<0>2775<0>544<0>3401<0>2415<0>3067<0>584<0>448<0>3174<0>3177<0>... |
I came ashore surrounded by the screams of men who had been hit and were drowning under their pondrous loads. | <0>1630<0>874<0>3535<0>1058<0>3818<0>1726<0>2777<0>448<0>2043<0>2865<0>3404<0>2024<0>308<0>2496<0>855<0>2070<0>2976<0>3980<0>521<0>298<0>792<0>929<0>595<0>1881<0>3850<0>544<0>256<0>2603<0>1611<0>20<0>2753<0>1060<0>1232<0>2028<0>1833<0>2632<0>2<0>461<0>859<0>2853<0>3974<0>3437<0>3673<0>2425<0>3793<0>3006<0>3793<0>546<0>... |
All around me, dead men floated in the water, along with live men who acted as if they were dead. The Germans couldn't tell which was which. A flooding tide washed everyone in. | <0>3563<0>890<0>2415<0>1304<0>3980<0>521<0>2843<0>2388<0>1848<0>1524<0>1282<0>266<0>3278<0>901<0>1227<0>475<0>2028<0>2783<0>2323<0>2510<0>1007<0>3115<0>792<0>1227<0>1846<0>3728<0>1191<0>2865<0>1981<0>2422<0>2696<0>70<0>3730<0>545<0>2415<0>1611<0>3974<0>2615<0>2415<0>3782<0>3141<0>88<0>3591<0>2656<0>753<0>2342<0>3496<0>... |
Lying at the edge of the high water mark, I watched a GI trying to cross the beach. | <0>586<0>521<0>595<0>3498<0>1525<0>874<0>2657<0>2180<0>1473<0>3759<0>3713<0>479<0>2163<0>521<0>595<0>1191<0>1191<0>2415<0>1819<0>1191<0>3844<0>1819<0>2503<0>3622<0>1048<0>4007<0>2735<0>2415<0>1954<0>1232<0>3278<0>3713<0>3493<0>2588<0>3793<0>1525<0>3782<0>3976<0>856<0>2735<0>1232<0>3194<0>3273<0>2735<0>2415<0>1232<0>353... |
He had a hard time running. I believe he was from the craft to our right. | <0>2812<0>3585<0>1190<0>3980<0>479<0>2865<0>1533<0>2077<0>2415<0>1232<0>2843<0>521<0>3404<0>1726<0>2316<0>3696<0>1551<0>1312<0>3515<0>1846<0>506<0>3793<0>1011<0>587<0>3297<0>193<0>2415<0>2656<0>3196<0>3980<0>3128<0>521<0>1850<0>1233<0>2615<0>2415<0>545<0>545<0>644<0>623<0>1060<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<... |
An enemy gunner cut him down and he staggered and fell to the sand. I can still hear the screaming. A well marked medical corpsman moved quickly to help him. He was also shot. | <0>70<0>3445<0>3112<0>597<0>2662<0>3655<0>2581<0>677<0>715<0>1375<0>3800<0>2510<0>4009<0>1754<0>3177<0>1374<0>1525<0>1981<0>3974<0>1909<0>665<0>3<0>3776<0>102<0>3850<0>4035<0>595<0>1232<0>475<0>2814<0>2180<0>3475<0>1469<0>2415<0>2753<0>1802<0>584<0>193<0>2978<0>901<0>1275<0>3032<0>129<0>2692<0>1791<0>1989<0>4058<0>4058... |
I'll never forget seeing that medic, lying next to that dying soldier, both screaming for help. | <0>1304<0>2541<0>460<0>1525<0>2510<0>1232<0>3987<0>475<0>1547<0>1490<0>2978<0>1306<0>2662<0>3673<0>521<0>3174<0>2977<0>2028<0>2777<0>1313<0>2228<0>1755<0>852<0>242<0>2415<0>595<0>2838<0>3128<0>1525<0>3995<0>3278<0>657<0>2425<0>3141<0>2735<0>1232<0>1869<0>3278<0>448<0>2753<0>3974<0>856<0>2753<0>1003<0>1104<0>993<0>1464<... |
Within minutes, as I watched, both men fell silent. And, mercifully, died. | <0>1406<0>2662<0>3793<0>2632<0>1684<0>1726<0>661<0>3455<0>2978<0>22<0>3308<0>1590<0>2218<0>1470<0>3914<0>219<0>3493<0>1954<0>2415<0>2512<0>3278<0>396<0>3674<0>1546<0>2696<0>1464<0>340<0>3067<0>451<0>3177<0>2028<0>230<0>1674<0>3594<0>2735<0>2865<0>2741<0>1451<0>521<0>219<0>3888<0>2316<0>451<0>2347<0>3967<0>1989<0>3173<0... |
I saw men vomit at the sickening sights, and others cry openly and unashamedly. | <0>1911<0>1525<0>3160<0>2512<0>2512<0>1881<0>1525<0>1754<0>2045<0>3401<0>890<0>1819<0>807<0>3941<0>2613<0>1591<0>814<0>3235<0>2192<0>516<0>2884<0>1227<0>1227<0>1460<0>2192<0>2735<0>1275<0>2079<0>2084<0>1097<0>2269<0>1755<0>665<0>1845<0>3673<0>4009<0>3348<0>193<0>3706<0>417<0>2707<0>2865<0>2619<0>865<0>2771<0>447<0>2415... |
All of us had to find it within ourselves to get across that sandy no man's land. | <0>3563<0>890<0>1780<0>340<0>4010<0>2735<0>2543<0>3821<0>1081<0>929<0>1472<0>2267<0>2541<0>3980<0>3<0>856<0>1611<0>3974<0>1227<0>2603<0>3169<0>787<0>901<0>544<0>595<0>2415<0>1981<0>3966<0>753<0>2242<0>901<0>3249<0>3273<0>2415<0>2415<0>3489<0>2146<0>1232<0>226<0>1097<0>3821<0>623<0>2581<0>2207<0>3655<0>1833<0>2615<0>317... |
This is where the army's strict discipline and rigorous training took over. Individual pride had a lot to do with it too. | <0>76<0>1547<0>3850<0>1547<0>3026<0>2615<0>1232<0>2510<0>1909<0>188<0>1936<0>3158<0>2528<0>1954<0>2510<0>417<0>373<0>3046<0>3821<0>1445<0>3935<0>1010<0>2024<0>345<0>2375<0>3278<0>538<0>169<0>922<0>926<0>1726<0>3177<0>68<0>1401<0>3537<0>1328<0>546<0>2574<0>3801<0>2536<0>2581<0>1227<0>1611<0>3872<0>546<0>2503<0>3974<0>26... |
First combat experience for these guys. And I want you to think about that, that image of you're in a boat. | <0>704<0>2323<0>2173<0>1472<0>484<0>2837<0>2734<0>199<0>199<0>1439<0>1304<0>819<0>2471<0>898<0>996<0>117<0>4069<0>1928<0>2656<0>1845<0>792<0>2459<0>2771<0>1684<0>1980<0>121<0>3088<0>475<0>521<0>1304<0>1467<0>1091<0>3986<0>3986<0>3986<0>1585<0>702<0>3455<0>1547<0>4009<0>3820<0>991<0>396<0>2935<0>1059<0>459<0>3020<0>538<... |
You're a couple hundred meters offshore, maybe two or three hundred meters offshore and you're looking two hundred meters ahead of you and you're starting to see tracers impact on this boat that you know you're next. | <0>2494<0>3439<0>3809<0>2503<0>1913<0>2753<0>1659<0>482<0>2753<0>2814<0>929<0>1227<0>2763<0>2814<0>226<0>3972<0>3515<0>2953<0>3730<0>1886<0>2316<0>3<0>1684<0>75<0>193<0>3297<0>3115<0>3080<0>3695<0>2684<0>1011<0>3906<0>2814<0>10<0>1684<0>2632<0>334<0>1886<0>2658<0>3744<0>929<0>1886<0>1684<0>3397<0>3115<0>68<0>1620<0>278... |
You know you're next. There's no turning back. This is the only thing you can do. There's nothing that's gonna stop it. | <0>2812<0>298<0>1666<0>661<0>3067<0>3177<0>926<0>163<0>1798<0>1845<0>1093<0>397<0>397<0>3071<0>3147<0>1394<0>2181<0>764<0>1485<0>753<0>1819<0>229<0>334<0>1328<0>1684<0>1611<0>1406<0>3227<0>3782<0>3877<0>1759<0>3164<0>810<0>3236<0>1754<0>951<0>2423<0>546<0>2632<0>3737<0>546<0>3713<0>1206<0>3007<0>1056<0>586<0>586<0>3177... |
They did an outstanding job.

I mean, obviously the actors do a good job of portraying what's going on in their minds. But this is what was going on in his mind. This is what he was thinking and seeing. | <0>3237<0>2029<0>2662<0>2316<0>3655<0>4041<0>787<0>43<0>3439<0>193<0>1405<0>1173<0>1209<0>1170<0>2521<0>146<0>3227<0>3722<0>238<0>3622<0>3809<0>690<0>368<0>2154<0>954<0>3918<0>2625<0>3496<0>1080<0>2393<0>4024<0>2536<0>3877<0>43<0>1620<0>614<0>2927<0>1106<0>1352<0>954<0>444<0>2839<0>521<0>3439<0>2581<0>1869<0>560<0>1834... |
In a Bradley fighting vehicle and as they were going on to target. | <0>3681<0>1539<0>3174<0>321<0>286<0>1028<0>1322<0>753<0>768<0>662<0>1223<0>2239<0>3477<0>3980<0>792<0>1869<0>29<0>1011<0>3416<0>2575<0>2033<0>2805<0>662<0>2088<0>3007<0>3439<0>892<0>1268<0>1156<0>1614<0>702<0>3941<0>2787<0>2543<0>2207<0>1011<0>1611<0>2415<0>490<0>1911<0>1869<0>1406<0>2510<0>586<0>298<0>2843<0>1304<0>23... |
I think I, I can't remember this 100%, but I'm pretty sure that the, the young officer in that vehicle, I remember him telling me, I remember him telling me about, he was like, damn. But he said he was screaming, don't put the ramp down. | <0>1759<0>3349<0>553<0>3999<0>1869<0>1535<0>593<0>3836<0>2617<0>2798<0>1298<0>3986<0>2798<0>1287<0>1921<0>3377<0>1710<0>901<0>1886<0>3888<0>506<0>3435<0>3348<0>2070<0>3850<0>2102<0>1113<0>3972<0>1265<0>2753<0>4011<0>4009<0>2563<0>2070<0>219<0>1684<0>3129<0>2159<0>3469<0>1262<0>1406<0>3809<0>542<0>2853<0>2106<0>791<0>19... |
Like just leave it up, don't, we're getting shot at. And their baby couldn't hear them, so they just put the ramp down anyways. Then what do you do? You just go. | <0>3087<0>3591<0>2498<0>318<0>3278<0>1020<0>586<0>3776<0>3776<0>3673<0>1518<0>2929<0>2753<0>1954<0>3548<0>880<0>3493<0>475<0>2581<0>2402<0>2777<0>245<0>1392<0>3185<0>1240<0>2681<0>2701<0>1368<0>2140<0>993<0>970<0>3377<0>1401<0>506<0>3444<0>3529<0>1206<0>3112<0>1858<0>587<0>3735<0>490<0>490<0>2768<0>1437<0>2775<0>3809<0... |
Back to the book. After I fired my M1, it jammed. | <0>1262<0>2410<0>1010<0>2910<0>1485<0>3528<0>2093<0>2148<0>2313<0>3938<0>1336<0>1360<0>2382<0>2887<0>444<0>308<0>1376<0>3466<0>1048<0>595<0>2735<0>3935<0>3809<0>1028<0>2323<0>3695<0>3782<0>3976<0>130<0>847<0>922<0>3785<0>2643<0>2734<0>3146<0>1169<0>3026<0>2512<0>1913<0>792<0>1227<0>2233<0>230<0>768<0>3875<0>3096<0>110<... |
To clean it, I slipped out of my assault jacket and spread my raincoat, only to discover bullet holes in my pack and coat. | <0>261<0>368<0>1594<0>1401<0>3776<0>230<0>3065<0>3611<0>2521<0>1230<0>967<0>3360<0>20<0>3067<0>3276<0>1685<0>2471<0>2471<0>2316<0>3980<0>146<0>3966<0>4008<0>545<0>2511<0>397<0>3437<0>3227<0>3622<0>193<0>2188<0>3166<0>734<0>2734<0>2325<0>3348<0>3437<0>2862<0>922<0>1028<0>3115<0>12<0>3655<0>1313<0>3404<0>3174<0>2396<0>28... |
Suddenly overwhelmed with fear, I became weak in the knees. My hands shook as I tried to wipe sand from my weapon. | <0>589<0>2978<0>2410<0>1856<0>2296<0>623<0>2054<0>895<0>666<0>3401<0>1147<0>2615<0>1328<0>3384<0>3177<0>1328<0>1286<0>850<0>850<0>3842<0>2656<0>1883<0>1971<0>1551<0>3564<0>1911<0>219<0>1322<0>1885<0>1710<0>3000<0>1790<0>2092<0>229<0>3526<0>2581<0>2824<0>2306<0>979<0>1169<0>1253<0>1173<0>3311<0>1052<0>1266<0>2754<0>3116... |
I had to catch my breath and compose myself. | <0>1911<0>3402<0>2208<0>3509<0>3537<0>2435<0>219<0>1374<0>538<0>2365<0>3271<0>2669<0>2471<0>3515<0>2485<0>2668<0>3347<0>1677<0>1786<0>76<0>745<0>1790<0>662<0>2239<0>2307<0>2503<0>96<0>3180<0>1819<0>3888<0>3626<0>3966<0>3107<0>1794<0>3966<0>291<0>360<0>82<0>3453<0>580<0>602<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>39... |
By mid morning, we had worked out, worked our way to the base of the hill. Men from other units began to gather. | <0>1777<0>2471<0>1322<0>3821<0>3177<0>1191<0>1304<0>3128<0>3655<0>2929<0>647<0>859<0>891<0>1695<0>1551<0>3696<0>461<0>3173<0>2676<0>1153<0>869<0>3888<0>2935<0>2843<0>3493<0>2619<0>1819<0>3138<0>3126<0>2865<0>2697<0>1103<0>4019<0>132<0>3466<0>869<0>3237<0>4058<0>3129<0>68<0>666<0>3067<0>3050<0>1232<0>3730<0>2415<0>3118<... |
The regimental commander, colonel Charles DW Canham. | <0>1262<0>922<0>545<0>1525<0>3005<0>3278<0>1232<0>1525<0>1490<0>2615<0>2503<0>2316<0>2716<0>1275<0>1684<0>2814<0>3122<0>3882<0>2639<0>1048<0>955<0>1352<0>291<0>3231<0>929<0>3730<0>1471<0>284<0>2619<0>2865<0>1191<0>1954<0>584<0>2152<0>3276<0>3526<0>116<0>3793<0>2244<0>2812<0>433<0>1620<0>2029<0>748<0>551<0>553<0>1275<0>... |
Appeared from down beach with his right arm in a sling and clutch, clutching a Colt 45 semi-automatic pistol in his bony left hand. | <0>1759<0>1911<0>3334<0>2603<0>3673<0>3146<0>4011<0>3129<0>2600<0>2239<0>3187<0>1921<0>2498<0>3663<0>1469<0>521<0>183<0>870<0>2161<0>1751<0>1593<0>596<0>3838<0>2615<0>475<0>984<0>545<0>2163<0>900<0>3696<0>2865<0>2865<0>1902<0>1981<0>2698<0>1617<0>1157<0>2734<0>495<0>3026<0>1547<0>546<0>3243<0>1980<0>1269<0>702<0>1170<0... |
Canham didn't look like a soldier, but he sure as hell was one. | <0>160<0>1525<0>1653<0>447<0>546<0>3604<0>4028<0>3809<0>2949<0>890<0>2253<0>3591<0>397<0>1846<0>1981<0>3273<0>984<0>2753<0>3247<0>852<0>2108<0>3819<0>2471<0>1270<0>1706<0>2978<0>2948<0>2196<0>484<0>189<0>448<0>3539<0>595<0>2042<0>3493<0>1406<0>2976<0>3840<0>3966<0>3140<0>893<0>771<0>381<0>423<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>398... |
He was tall and thin, wore wire-rimmed glasses and had a pencil-thin mustache. | <0>1783<0>954<0>544<0>2962<0>3489<0>2865<0>2512<0>2976<0>229<0>1229<0>3405<0>1547<0>1726<0>1227<0>4002<0>641<0>3327<0>70<0>1422<0>1191<0>1191<0>1406<0>2976<0>1850<0>553<0>545<0>2615<0>2935<0>2915<0>1846<0>2415<0>521<0>3980<0>3150<0>584<0>3966<0>1341<0>3772<0>3682<0>2684<0>1525<0>1232<0>1924<0>354<0>1525<0>1058<0>1490<0... |
He yelled for the officers and non-coms to help him get the men across the beach and up the hill. | <0>3854<0>2494<0>373<0>2735<0>677<0>475<0>3131<0>1881<0>2180<0>521<0>3962<0>729<0>1490<0>1401<0>448<0>1684<0>3906<0>1819<0>1819<0>1611<0>2503<0>1819<0>1819<0>2123<0>3503<0>900<0>2510<0>929<0>2877<0>3590<0>2847<0>308<0>2412<0>1058<0>833<0>75<0>2070<0>985<0>76<0>3414<0>1784<0>2028<0>4043<0>3416<0>2415<0>2415<0>3112<0>627... |
In a nearby pill box, a young, a lieutenant colonel taking refuge from the enemy mortar barrage yelled out to Canham, Colonel, you better take cover or you're gonna get killed. | <0>1848<0>2226<0>3670<0>3842<0>1611<0>1304<0>3515<0>384<0>1482<0>1401<0>68<0>1464<0>1819<0>521<0>4013<0>3551<0>713<0>2546<0>1755<0>1031<0>3776<0>121<0>1721<0>706<0>2973<0>2747<0>521<0>1512<0>3297<0>193<0>2163<0>900<0>2593<0>2302<0>1819<0>2316<0>2365<0>1712<0>248<0>553<0>1058<0>289<0>3145<0>2615<0>1525<0>3437<0>686<0>28... |
Colonel Canham screamed his reply, get your ass out of there and help me get these men off this beach.
