sent to drive Hitler from the continent died on the first day.

from one town in one day.
WE WOULD JUST MEET EACH OTHER AND LOVE EACH OTHER A LITTLE
Bedford in 1944 was a farm town of 3200. It had a National Guard unit which was chosen to be in the vanguard of the D-Day invasion.
The 30 or so Bedford boys who made the landing trained in England with the rest of the 29th Division for a solid year.

MY BARE HANDS.
ROY STEVENS: THAT'S RAY AND THIS IS ME. HE WAS HIT BY MACHINE GUN FIRE.
Roy Stevens and his twin brother Ray were in separate landing craft. Roy almost drowned when his sank short of the beach.
Plucked from the water and sent back to England, he did not reach Normandy for four days.....
ROY STEVENS:
I NOTICED THERE WAS WORKING IN A CEMETERY OVER THERE, AND I SEE THOSE
LITTLE WHITE CROSSES THEY STARTED PUTTING UP.
THE FIRST GRAVE I CAME TO...THE FIRST CROSS...WAS MY BROTHER'S THEY HAD
HIS DOG TAGS UP ON THE CROSS AND A LITTLE PIECE OF MUD ON IT, AND I
KICKED IT OFF.

IT SEEMED LIKE JUST A DARK CLOUD HUNG OVER THE COMMUNITY FOR A LONG TIME.
Lucille Boggess had two brothers in Company A....Bedford and
Raymond. Both were killed.
IT WAS JUST SO TRAUMATIC I GUESS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. I REMEMBER
HEARING THE FATHERS OF THE OTHER MEN WHO DIED SAYING I NOT ONLY LOST MY SON BUT I LOST MY WIFE THAT DAY. BECAUSE A LOT OF WOMEN HAD A HARD TIME COPING WITH THE LOSS.
The next 6th of June a memorial honoring the heroes of D-Day will be dedicated. Large in scope to match the courage of that day....it
will be dedicated...appropriately...in Bedford....the little town which gave so much.
