He will always have our gratitude for his generosity and his determination in keeping the memory of D-day alive." James L. Lockhart - 29th Inf. Div., 115th Inf. Reg., Company B

"Time will never erase this account in one of the most descriptive ways of D-day. This collection of testimonies of men engage in the invasion of Fortress Europe, Their recollection of a day marked with sacrifice and almost unbelievable heroism Laurent Lefebvre has organized and presented a truly amazing count-down as the day wore on. Every step as the minutes ticked away. As you read you are unable to stray. You are drawn into each mans' experience. Being a Ranger with F Co. 2nd Bn., Mortar Gunner at the Pointe du Hoc I too was gripped with the accuracy. I strongly say thanks Laurent for your book was terrific" Bill (Knobby) Walsh - 2nd Ranger Bn, Company F (Pointe du Hoc)

"The book by Laurent Lefebvre, "They were on Omaha Beach", is in my opinion among the best books written about the Invasion of France during the Second World War. Putting together all the eye witness accounts of men that were actually there, cant get it any closer to real, of what happened on that Glorious Day. Laurent has put great efforts in time, research, travel, and personal sacrifice into his book to make it a success. I think he has done a great deed for the Veterans of D-Day '44." Harley Reynolds - 1st Inf. Div., 16th Inf. Reg., Company B

Edward J. Dyard - LST 266
"This book contains an excellent collection of oral histories that tell the story of D-day in a very personal way. The French stories are of particular interest and fill a gap in the usual books on Omaha Beach. I highly recommend this book." Donald Van Roosen - 29th Inf. Div., 115th Inf. Reg.
