First hand narrative from war photojournalist Robert Capa describing his experience on Omaha Beach 73 years ago. It's pretty incredible and courageous that someone volunteered to go in the first wave, unarmed in order to make sure the world knew what was happening in the war.

My Uncle Seid was a Combat Engineer and went in on Utah Beach before the first wave to blow up landing defenses. He survived in front line combat all the way to Paris, and we later served in Viet Nam at the same time - I was at DaNang and he was at Cam Ranh Bay.

Pretty cool. My friends grandfather was also in an Engineer that landed in the first waves on Utah, PFC Robert Cohen.
