D-Day, June 6, 1944

"I was so seasick, the only thing I was concerned about was hitting shore...(after the landing) I was worrying about doing my job.  Firing a gun is one thing, but dealing with bones and blood and maimed soldiers, that's another! ...You couldn't do as much as you wanted for the wounded.  You just slapped on a dressing as fast as you could and moved along...I saw a lot of guys die, too.  The Canadians died like real heroes.  They called for help; who wouldn't?  But they didn't cry about why they were hit and not somebody else...
