.. Waldo Werft I pay honor and tribute to the memory of your Uncle Silbert
Pershing as a fellow comrade of the 16th inf Regt. who also landed on Omaha Beach that day. I was a medic and could have been very close to your Uncle that morning. Many were hit by snipers that day. Some as they stepped off their landing craft. How I got to the beach, and off the beach safely, I'll never know. I later read that there were as many as 200 german snipers shooting at us that day, not to mention the murderous artillery, mortar, and machine gunfire. I was extremely blessed to have safely survived until the end of the war, and I highly honor the memory. of Sgt Pershing and all my many comrades who made the supreme sacrifice on D-Day. I am highly amazed, and grateful to God, at age 92, I am able to be here texting about this horrendous day in history! We shall never forget the fantastic bravery and sacrifice of all who gave their all that day!
