Remember the USCG today as well
“The Jaws of Death.”
A photo by CPHOM Robert F. Sargent, USCG. A Coast Guard-manned LCVP from the USS Samuel Chase disembarks troops of Company E, 16th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division on the morning of June 6, 1944, at Omaha Beach. The Coast Guard was one of the great-unsung players on D-Day, and more Coast Guard vessels were lost or damaged that day than at any time in its history before or since.
