@shuntRedsman Coach Hunt is as classy a human being as ever been. Great coach, better person. A few of my L’s are in his W column. He always won with class.

Sometimes I think I’m under-appreciated and then I remember there’s a guy at my church who has won 990 college baseball games and people want to fire him every year.

@CoachAT7 @RetroCardSnaps Looking back at the schedule, I think it was South Florida in the 1988 Tallahassee regional.

[Military History Now @MilHistNow]

RIGHT NOW in 1944, this is the scene in Normandy. The liberation of France is underway #DDay

[alex kershaw @kershaw_alex]

It's D Day. 4,427 Allied soldiers died today so that generations not even born, like mine, could grow up in freedom. See more at https://t.co/EEg00P06y6

Ray’s Rock - Omaha Beach

On the morning of June 6, 1944, 23 year old Staff Sergeant Arnold “Ray” Lambert came ashore with the first wave of the 1st Infantry Division on the eastern side of Omaha Beach. At this small patch of concrete he saved nearly 20 lives:

The division came under intense fire from several German bunkers surrounding the entrance to the Colville Draw (one of two exits off Omaha Beach). Ray, a medic, immediately went to work.

He was shot in the arm. Moments later he was hit by shrapnel in the leg, but Ray kept pulling men to safety. He pulled nearly 20 wounded soldiers to cover behind this 8ft wide obstacle, treating each soldier before going out in search of others.

After several hours under fire, while pulling a wounded soldier from the ocean, he was struck by a landing craft. It dropped its ramp on top of him, breaking his back. He fell face down in the water, drowning. The craft backed up and nearby soldiers pulled an unconscious Ray to safety, eventually evacuating him off the beach.

Remarkably, Ray had already earned two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts in Sicily and North Africa, prior to landing in France. But here in Normandy his war would end.

He awoke in a hospital back in England a day later. In the next bed over was his brother, who had also been wounded at Omaha.

When asked about his work on D-Day, Ray simply said, “I did what I was called to do.”

Ray Lambert passed in 2021 at 100 years old. He exemplified the best of American grit and why remembering this day is so important.

Did you know that the first women to land on the Normandy beachhead in June 1944 were nurses of Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Nursing Service?

Their task was to establish a field hospital for 600 wounded soldiers.

They succeeded.

Please remember these heroines who saved lives:
