00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,170
[ominous music]

2
00:00:05,071 --> 00:00:14,421
(Veron Lingle) At dawn, the sky was full of bombers 
and these so-called C-47 aircraft towing gliders,.

3
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:20,944
ships with artillery with all that.
You could see the flashes and the bursts of the bombs.

4
00:00:20,944 --> 00:00:27,547
[distant ocean waves]

5
00:00:27,581 --> 00:00:34,321
We were supposed to be in the first wave,
and there was so much fire, I guess, they called us off. 

6
00:00:34,713 --> 00:00:41,112
They selected my LCI to go out to a troop carrier ship
and pick up an Army lieutenant colonel

7
00:00:41,112 --> 00:00:43,736
because the beachmaster had been killed. 

8
00:00:44,036 --> 00:00:48,227
Seeing all those those guys layin’ on that beach... dead,

9
00:00:48,375 --> 00:00:52,775
I really can't explain my emotions.
We had a job to do, and we was doing it.

10
00:00:52,775 --> 00:00:56,531
Every day of my life... I feel lucky.
