On this day in 1944 a little town in the Blue Ridge Mountains with about 3200 people would lose 20 sons, with 19 coming on Omaha Beach during the first wave.
The “Bedford Boys” were made up primarily from Company A, 116th Infantry Regiment, 29th Infantry Division, and trained for two years in England before leading the charge for one of the greatest battles in history. Bedford would lose 23 sons in total, making it the highest per capita loss of life of any town, which led Congress in to designate Bedford as the site of the D-Day Memorial, dedicated in 2001.
Two days after the Artemis II launch, we remember Gus Grissom, born on this day 100 years ago in the tiny town of Mitchell, IN.
He perished on January 27, 1967 during the pre-launch test of Apollo I. Due to his seniority, he would have likely been our first man on the moon.
