I've made quite a study of this and still cannot fathom what it might have been like to be one of those bobbing about in an LST.

D-Day. A day that changed the world. The Atlantic's waters were red. Not many of those folks left. We each should find ways to keep their memories alive.

DaveInVA wrote: A special part of my childhood growing up. We could see it from where I lived on the east side of the bay. Memories of crossing it in fog with the glow of the special sodium lights it had. Ferry rides across the bay going by the bridge and Alcatraz, which was still open. These ferry boats were what was used as the police station in Nash Bridges. Being high up on a hill side where you could overlook the bay, see the fog roll in and fill up the entire basin, with the bridge disappearing except for the very tops poking above the fog. Its was like someone dumped dry ice into the bay. The whole panarama of seeing the peaks of the hills poking about the fluffy and sometimes roiling fog under the bright sunlight above the fog... Its kinda mind boggling thinking back that it still pretty new when I was a kid. Now its a majestic lady overlooking the Bay.

This gave me chills! They probably had not registered what had just happened. It still profoundly shocks me that this happened in the USA. That you were there is also chilling! What a horrible wake up call.

There is now evidence that an FBI paid informant fired the first shot.

Despite the fact they are in college people 18-22 don't always make the best/safest choice.
