“The General, the Major and the Sargent”

Story of three men of the 116th Infantry Regiment: known as the “Stonewallers” after General Thomas Jackson who gained fame in the Civil War as “Old Stonewall” who was the original leader of the antecedents of this Regiment. The 116th was the assault regiment at Omaha Beach for the 29th Division known as the Blue/Grey division. The 29th was a National Guard Division from Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. These three men came ashore in the same landing boat at Omaha Beach, fought up and over the bluffs, survived D-Day then fought for weeks in the Normandy hedge country to take the key crossroads town of St. Lo.
