Heartbreaking, but, at the same time, so proud of these young men. I always wondered who the two American soldiers were that were killed as soon as they set foot on the beach. One went down instantly and the other went down, struggled to get back up, and went down for a second final time. They both had names, parents ,maybe wives or girlfriends back home. I wonder who they were and where they were from.
