Omaha Beach

My father, Sgt. Henry W. Hayden, second from right on the street, leading a squad from the 78th Infantry Division, 310th Regiment after crossing Remagen Bridge. 
My dad passed away last October, and I found this photo in a 310th Regiment yearbook. He was awarded the Silver Star and Bronze Star as well as a Presidential Unit Citation for action in Germany, March 1945. I love you dad!!
