Red Onines
WWII | 6th Naval Beach Battalion
After he crawled from the water on D-Day, the first thing Red Onines noticed was how the landing craft were piling up near shore. Clearing them was one task assigned to others in his unit. An enemy shell knocked out his hearing, but the signalman continued to do his job as well as help the wounded. Years later, he had a chance meeting with Frank Walden, whom he had carried to safety.
