On D-Day, June 6th, 1944, the Allies landed approximately 156-thousand troops on the beaches in Normandy called "Operation Overload." Fighting alongside them were 73-thousand Americans on two beaches. On Omaha Beach there were 23,250. On Utah Beach 23,250. And 15,500 more made up the airborne troops. C.P. Martin was on the first wave at Omaha, cramped into a landing craft with his band of brothers. His memoir told to and written by his daughter, Susan M. Martin, is an account of his life before, during, and right after what historians have called "the longest day." Follow his journey in the short book "Waves of War - A Memoir of C.P. Martin, Sergeant, U.S. Army."
