• A wave splashed against the side of out boat. "Men!"yelled the general leading us. "Many of you shall die but it will be a glorious victory!"Men cheered with him.
    Only minutes later hell broke out. WE hit the beach German turrets shooting us wildly. Many men dropped before me. I jumped into a trench with a few other soldiers. watched as helpless men were shot down. Many other screaming in pain. I thought back home. My wife was waiting for me to return safly. I would go home in one piece. "Pete!" Screamed Mark one of my old friends. "Get you weapon out of the god damn case!" He screamed over the roar of bullets pounding the ground. I pulled my M1 Grand out of the case. Then the words recited in my head.
    Many of you shall die but this will be a glorious victory!
