He looked around. By his sides, his buddies prayed for their safety, while some handed him extra
rounds for his rifle. They're all anxious, as this battle will determine the faith of France and with it,

The ramp slammed opened. The invasion of Normandy has begun.
21 thousand men, despite knowing the risks, charged forwards, with strength as if it was t

A photo slipped out of his pocket while he panic in the busy battlefield.
It was a photo of his wife and child, back in the US.
