Who won?- the Allies won D-Day resulted in the and of the war and a win for the allies. First hand account- I received training at Bainbridge, Maryland and navigational radar training at Woods Whole, Massachusetts. From there I was sent to amphibious training at Little Creek, Virginia. Me and my crew were sent to a yard outside of Brooklyn we picked up a new chopper. My crew was full of scared officers. Except Sgt. Tinsley and a few executive officers. There were a few bunks on a few crafts. We survived off of water and bread for weeks in Normandy. We were at home bass most of the time. A few coopers flew and came to get us the operation was sucessful. Lieutenant McBride, Captain Slater, and one-third of our company went down as their boat swamped. We landed and fired off our rockets, the ramp goes down, and I'm the first guy shot in the company, a machine gun through the right side. Then I stepped off into water over my head, and the guys pulled me out and we just rushed to the base of that cliff and grabbed any rope we could get, and [|up the cliff] we went just as fast as we could go. The wound wasn't bad; it had gone through the muscle on my right side. BY: Leonard Lonell
