They Were There at Omaha Beach, June 6, 1944-- Part 2

Veteran Ray Wagner, 94, also spoke at the Pritzker Military Museum & Library.  Wagner's Duck boat sank as his Army division landed on Omaha Beach during the D-Day assault.

Wagner, who grew up and still lives in Chicago, was hit in the knee by shrapnel and later received the Purple Heart and Bronze Star.

"I can only say that I am happy to be here.  I know a lot of people aren't.  If it wasn't for them, half of us wouldn't be either," he said.
