Omaha Beach and Beyond: The Long March of Sergeant Bob Slaughter
I have been privileged to know Bob Slaughter for almost twenty years, a period during which I observed his passion to keep alive the spirit of those men, living and dead, who participated in the great D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. His commitment to the history of that great event, in which he was a participant, has never wavered. In Omaha Beach and Beyond: The Long March of Bob Slaughter readers can now learn firsthand the story of this remarkable American soldier and patriot. —Joseph Balkoski, Maryland National Guard Command Historian and author, Beyond the Beachhead: The 29th Infantry Division in NormandyThe long march of Sergeant Bob Slaughter as told in Omaha Beach and Beyond gives the reader the memories that Bob has lived with every day for the past sixty-three years.  After reading this, his memories will live with you too, forever! —Major Richard D.
