Photo #16 is a close family friend (wearing the number 23 on his chest) talking to Ike.

Uncle John survived D Day and went on to fight in several other engagements.

After the war he lived the rest of his life in Nutley, NJ.

He died about 4 years ago and is buried in Burlington County, NJ.

Before he died he gave my sister a large colored poster of that photography which hangs in her home.

I’ve always wondered what Eisenhower was telling them.

Cool! When I was a kid and looking at that picture in a book, my father told me most of those guys probably didn't make it. I'm glad that your "Uncle John" did!

I've always wondered about the older balding guy being helped ashore in #11. Who was he? Was he hit bad, did he survive, etc...
