Hello,
My father landed on Omaha beach with the 103rd Evacuation Hospital. His rank then Major Henry C Vedder and was a surgeon who worked 12 hours without rest day in and day out helping the fallen soldiers. I would love to hear any stories about their landing date. His map for his unit starts at Caretan on July 20th, 1944 but he sId he landed only a few days after D -Day. He said he waded off a ship and had to progress through ropes marking where bombs were. Does anyone else have more info. ?
I would love to hear more about his 103rd Evacuation Hospital.
