The 29th Division's 116th Regiment, officially nicknamed the "Stonewall Brigade", landed on Omaha Beach on June 6,1944. They were tasked with spearheading the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France. Coming ashore grossly overloaded and seasick, they struggled through the rough surf, mined beach obstacles, murderous machine gun fire, and unyielding artillery to reach their intended objectives. With a heritage that is traced back to the American Civil War, the "Stonewallers" upheld their proud legacy of courage and valor.

Personally signed by Robert Slaughter
A native of Roanoke, Virginia, Slaughter enlisted in the Virginia National Guard at age 15. He landed on D-Day as a member of D Company, 116th Infantry. Slaughter was an original member of the 29th Ranger Battalion in 1942, a unit that was disbanded in September 1943. Slaughter then returned to the 29th Infantry Division and landed on D-Day in the 4th wave. He served with the 116th Regiment for the entire war, earning 2 Purple Hearts. After the war, Slaughter was a driving force in building the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia. PLANE JUNKIE - The Stonewall Brigade by Larry Selman (Omaha Beach, Normandy)
