Default A Picture's worth a 1000 words!

MARK: That list breakdown and the diagram makes it a lot easier for me to understand how things were structured. Thanks.

C Company was of the first to land on Juno Beach...right? Which would mean that my Uncle and his group amazingly made it thru all that beginning attack and found their way so far in land from the water. I keep wondering if my Uncle was one of the wounded men placed in the middle of the group when they were made to sit in the field just before the were open-fired on.

Someone thought it would be good for me to see `Saving Private Ryan' a while back... the opening part of the landing (Omaha right?) was so bad. I was told that many vets who landed June 6 were blown away by how `real' the movie showed the landing to be. It's also my impression that Juno Beach landing was not as insane and bad, but was still very bad.

How `realistic' WAS that opening to that movie?


Must go, and thanks you.
