Two Hall of Famers were among the 160,000 troops who took part in the Allied Forces’ invasion of Normandy during D-Day, which began on June 6, 1944.
Yogi Berra was a gunner’s mate on the USS Bayfield, and Leon Day delivered much-needed supplies to Utah Beach with the Army’s 818th Amphibious Battalion.
In this photo of the keel being laid in 1914 for USS Arizona, the little boy holding Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt's hand is Henry Williams, Jr.
Roosevelt would later become President and in 1941, Lt. Henry Williams would be at Pearl Harbor and would watch the Arizona explode. He is the only known person who was present at the beginning and at the end of the USS Arizona. #PearlHarbor84
