Major General Clarence R. Huebner in dragon's teeth

As the commander of the "Big Red One" in World War II, Huebner led the invasion at Omaha Beach, forged the breakout at Saint-Lô, repelled the German counteroffensive at Mortain, and pursued the German Army across France, which culminated in the Battles of Aachen and the Huertgen Forest. In January 1945, he took command of the V Corps, which he directed from the Rhine to the Elbe, where his troops made the first contact with the Red Army.

Major General Clarence R. Huebner "Big Red One"

My Uncle was nearly cut in half when they landed on Omaha Beach on 6/6/1944. The man who held him told me how my Uncle asked for the photo of us wife, my Aunt, in his pocket and he held it until he finally gave up life. It is their wedding photo and he carried through North Africa, Sicily, and Italy. This month my Aunt passed on to Glory and will join her husband there.
