Every Man a Hero: A Memoir of D-Day, the First Wave at Omaha Beach, and a World at War by Ray Lambert, Jim DeFelice
5.0
"Once open, troops began pouring through. The momentum of the battle dramatically shifted; the 16th Infantry Regiment had taken the fight inland."
Ah, D-Day. The most infamous battle of all time. I should know everything about it, right? Well, this memoir hit differently. This was from Sergeant Ray Lambert, a medic in the First Division. He was in the worst of it, right on Omaha Beach. It was hellfire. Men were dropping like flies around him.
During the invasion, though, the first pillbox captured was full of Polish prisoners. And they said they wanted to surrender immediately.

Ray, on the other hand, had signed up earlier, before Pearl Harbor, because he needed money and he was a hard-worker. He would take all the hard jobs.
I mean, they're called the Greatest Generation for a reason.
Great book. I definitely would not waste your time reading this. And who knows if he's still alive. If he is, then he's one of the few remaining D-Day veterans left, at over 100 years old, or at 100 years old.
5***out of 5 stars
