Branch Seal
Activity During WWII

Served on the USS LCT 600. The boats delivered tanks and Marines to shore. During the invasion of Normandy, on Omaha Beach, he was tasked with working the ramp that dropped down to the beach to let the tanks off. After the tanks unloaded, he and crew would courageously run out on the beach, pick up the dead and wounded and transport them back to a larger ship that was out to sea.
