There's a place a little west from here that offers Glider rides. May have to check them out some day.

Wonder if they'll let you take a chute?

Sailors Dressed Like Soldiers
The Naval Beach Battalions

The great fleet of over 5,000 ships and anding crafts and the sailors who manned them began the greatest naval assault ever carried out on the shores of Normandy, France. A significant presence in this invasion was the Naval Beach Battalions - attached to the Army's Engineer Special Brigades - they were used to establish communication and field hospitals and to guide and repair incoming landing craft. Three of the Navy's twelve Beach Battalions were in the Invasion - the 2nd at Utah Beach, the 6th & 7th at Omaha Beach.

An idea for a future thread?
