He was killed by an exploding 88mm shell. Their time in the battle could be measured in minutes... [American D-Day facebook] Read more...

Let us remember those young soldiers who changed the course of history with their sacrifice. Let us commit ourselves to remembering their sacrifice by cherishing the freedom they bought for all generations that follow. Honored by Laurent Lefebvre [June 11, 2023]
CPL Simms was my great uncle. He was denied enlistment twice before he stuffed himself with bananas in order to gain enough weight to join. He was allowed enlistment on the third try. He didn't want to be left behind. His brother joined the 29th as well and made it home safely. Honored by Stephanie Ashwell [2018-01-29 16:32:08]
