Great shot! That I guess was after the beaches were secured..

This must have been freaking scary... coming off the boats with the beaches being machine gunned from the cliffs!

I can't even begin to imagine what goes through your mind and the feeling in your gut as you drift closer to shore and envision your possible pending doom all the while trying to mentally prepare yourself to muster up the courage to get out of the boat; trudge through the shore line, cross the beach head, and get through the man made obstructions without being shredded by lead and/or explosives. Boys became men real quick!
