My Father was a SGT/ then LT in the Infantry [Heavy weapons PLT LDR/ .30 cal water cooled c heavy MG.. He served in the Pacific - New Guinea, Phillipines . He made 5 beachheads - ie hit the beach on five different invasions... He said one of the scariest aspects of hitting the beach was the US Naval gunfire [8" and 11" guns providing covering fire overhead... ] if the shells landed close to you - would suck the air out of your lungs..
He also fought in Korea and in Vietnam...
a great man.. a great Dad
