Good to see the 29th Division here. In Co. A, 1/116th Infantry, 19 men, all from the small town if Bedford, Virginia, population of about 3,000 in 1944, were killed at Omaha Beach.

My dad joined the USA before the war and was in the 26th rgt as well as the 175 th rgt. I'd like to check with you the medal board I have made for him.

What happened to the 504th PIR for the 82nd Airborne Division? The 504th was in Sicily and Italy before heading to France. I was with the 1/504 in Afghanistan so I got an 82nd Airborne combat patch.

[@eltonjohnson1724]

I know that the regiment didn’t jump into Normandy as a regiment because it had been fighting in Italy but it was part of the 82nd. But several members of the regiment did volunteer to jump on 5 June. One received the Medal of Honor.

[@paulm7842]

​The two glider regiments were missing as well - the 325th GIR for the 82nd and the 327th GIR for the 101st.

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]

The 504 parachute infantry regiment of the 82nd airborne division departed Italy in April 1944 where it remained until the assault in Holland on 17th September 1944. Relocated to France in mid November 1944 and was attached to the 75th infantry division, 1-3 January 1945 and then crossed into Belgium and returned to France in February 1945. It entered Germany in April 1945 and return to New York and then Fort Bragg in January 1946. They earned 5 campaign stars.

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]

You are correct at 325 Glider Infantry Regiment assaulted in the Normandy France on six June 1944 and then later in Holland in September 1944 . Same for me 327 GIR of 101st Airborne Division

2nd and 5th Rangers never wore the scroll on D-Day they wore the authorized SSI the Gold and Blue Rangers Lozenge. All Ranger scrolls were unauthorized but became part of Ranger history and were authorized 1986 with the new 3rd Ranger Bn was added.

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]

yes, that why I put both!

[@KILLERDOC0826]

Can you review or do a piece on the 227th field artillery (attached to the 29th ID) at Omaha beach on D-Day? Your videos are amazing and valuable to any collector and researchers! Keep up the good work!!

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]

About all I can find on the 227th field artillery, a 155 tractor battalion is that it did land on 6 June 1944 with the 29th infantry division and return to United States on 15 January 1946.

[@KILLERDOC0826]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

[@ronniehembree7855]

Sir! Outstanding! HOC ex nostra electione facimus

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]

thank you

[@davidparker6316]

Question the assault arrow is for d-day ?

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]

no, it is the bronze arrow head device for assault landings.

[@danfd26233]

It shouldn't go un noticed that the 29th was a National Guard Division. Most don't know how much combat the army National Guard has actually seen over the years

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]

You are right , they are key combat force of our country!

[@eltonjohnson1724]

I thought that the 32nd Infantry Division in the Pacific had more days in combat than any other US Infantry Division (654 days of combat).

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]

Ah, I should have said ETO!

[@eltonjohnson1724]

@@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376 No problem, Colonel. Good job!

[@stevengirard9209]

I'd would like to know when for those of us that served in the Balkans ever going to be covered?(i.e Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia)

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]

good suggestions.. I will put in the plan!

[@djzrobzombie2813]

The Germans are still mad about losing 😂

[@veteransmedalsworkshop-moa4376]
