36thIDAlex Posted February 10, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 10, 2020 Hello! I was doing some research over the weekend and stumbled across a mention of an article written by General George Marshall entitled "33 GI's Who Saved D-Day." The article is referring to a group of 33 soldiers who had been put in for the Medal of Honor for actions on Omaha beach. While none of them were awarded the medal, I believe this article was written by Marshall in the 60s recounting their story. I was hoping someone on here may have heard of the article or know where I could find it. Any help would be much appreciated. -Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIKyle Posted February 10, 2020 Share #2 Posted February 10, 2020 I had not heard of this article until someone was selling the uniform of a soldier on that list. I found it odd that the soldier whose uniform was being sold did not receive a lesser award despite the supposed Medal of Honor nomination. I, too, was unable to locate the actual article but would be interesting to run down the background of the story. Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
