00:04we were on that beach approximately two hours before we moved off of it we
00:09couldn't stand up because anyone attempted to stand up was killed when I
00:14landed in a field by myself I was 18 years old what am I doing here and then
00:23that was that was it that was the start of the war
00:30the tide that kept me in but even a wave will crash and end
00:39the noise was bordered on unbearable the smells were terrible too but the machine
00:46gun fire and rifle fire that just went over our heads like a bunch of bees and
00:51I'm talking thousands and thousands of small arms rounds every minute passing
00:57over your head it was pretty bad to have survived it was a miracle
01:05a miracle
01:24a second could make a world for you or kill you
01:38anybody tells you they was not scared to death is lying to you they're trying to make a good picture
01:46out of it it's not a good picture it's a dirty picture it's hell on wheels it was the most
01:52dead
01:53Americans that I have ever seen in my life floating in the water and on the shores
02:00the Germans were position and like shooting fish in the barrel it looked like you could step from
02:08one ship to the next on D-Day it was just a remarkable sight we liberated a lot of towns
02:14the French were out there waving to us tears were in our eyes I felt so so happy that we
02:20did that for
02:21them but they haven't forgotten and they were just it was so beautiful
02:26I carried you
02:28till I buried you
02:31now a memory's all I have
02:35as the story beats your blood
02:40this is our destiny
02:53this is our destiny
02:56this is our destiny

03:50And that was to lead those men off of that beach
03:53And that's what I did
