Omaha Beach: D-Day, June 6, 1944

The end of the beginning

Realism, not pessimism

Festung Europa

Fortune favors the bold

The greatest show on Earth

Forlorn hope

The momentous now

Clear the way

Bullets like rain

Move or die

Everyone an Infantryman

Beyond the beach

A full measure of devotion

To rest or to die
