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.

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.
