Period 3 Mrs. C. Clark D-Day June 6, 1944 Dear Journal, This by far has been the longest day in my life. As we were in the ships, just about to storm the “Omaha Beach”, I recognized someone, it was my best friend. After he got the news that I was a Ranger, he joined the army and somehow ended up with us. The regiment is in contact with the enemy, so such trips always have their skin-prickling moments. I got back pretty tired about 7 o'clock, just in time to get a phone call from the CO of one of Sirrine's battalions, also in the line, requesting me to come up to discuss personal problems of his body-guard, a fine young fellow who had simultaneously received word that his sister, an army nurse, and a brother, a flyer, had both been killed in the Southern Pacific, and that his remaining brother had been critically wounded with another division here in France. He wanted to go and protect his sister at Pearl Harbor in the hospital, which got hit by a Japanese bomber that took off from the Kaga naval ship.
