WWII: D-Day
RAY LAMBERT’S STORY
–
In the early hours of June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched the greatest combination of sea, land and air power in history as they headed for Normandy. Overhead, twelve hundred planes launched an airborne assault, preparing five thousand ships to land on the beaches. It was an all-or-nothing mission. Among those in the first wave to land on that infamous beach was SGT Ray Lambert. As a medic in the 1st Infantry Division, SGT Lambert participated in some of the fiercest battles of World War II, and he had already been awarded two Silver Stars for bravery and three Purple Hearts.
