Quotes by Larry Alexander  (?)
Quotes are added by the ŷ community and are not verified by ŷ.

“The 101st was trucked to Utah Beach on July 10, seeing from the land what they had seen from the air the night of June 5: hundreds of ships sitting off shore as far as the eye could see. Smaller boats, LSTs, LCMs and other craft carrying men and supplies plied the waters between the ships and the sand. “It took your breath away,� he recalled. Winters saw something else he had not seen for more than a month, a sight that literally brought tears to his eyes: the American flag. In 2003, the memory still left him choked up. “I didn’t realize how much the American flag meant to me,� he said.”
Larry Alexander, Biggest Brother: The Life of Major Dick Winters, the Man Who Led the Band of Brothers
