2nd Division,9th Regiment. KIA Normandy Silver star !

[WwiiVet]

Goodday guys,

 

This is one of my nicest items in the collection. This relic was found on the also called 'ghost ridge'. Eddie M Roy served in the 2nd Infantry Division,9th Regiment. He landed on Omaha beach DDAY +1 ( 7 June 1944 ) and possibly saw fractions if the horror that went on the day before. He fought its way through Normandy and was KIA on June 17, 1944. For his actions on this day he was awarded a silver star medal. I still have to find his citation and picture but hopefully it will turn up some day.
