Today is the first day of winter and i can already tell it’s gonna suck. It is 4 degrees Fahrenheit outside. I was freezing cold and I didn’t want to do anything. I ate some food. I drank some very hot coffee. My seargant came in and told me to go search for a man that went missing. So i went. We found the man. I was horrified at what i saw. I saw the man and he was on the ground beaten to death.

So far we have moved in and took back 680 miles from the nazi forces. We took supplies from from the convoy. They didn’t have much but they had some food, water and ammo. We kept moving on and out of nowhere one of our men dropped. I yelled sniper and sprinted to a building nearby. Right as i got through the door i was shot. It hit my thigh and went right through. I crawled upstairs and joined my other soldiers. The medic ran over to me and cleaned and bandaged the wound and told me to not stay away from the windows. I told the seargant to give me a sniper and i aimed and shot and killed the sniper

When i woke up this morning no one said anything to anyone. Seargant Peterson who i had never seen show any emotion was teary eyed. But this is war and in war there are casualties, so we continued on with our mission. We walked 5 kliqs north towards our next attack point. We were to take out the convoy so that some German soldiers couldn’t get there supplies and ultimately die. The convoy was set to come at midnight so i decided to get some rest. Seargant Peterson woke me up at 11:30 so i could wake up. Thirty minutes later the convoy came. We had already chopped down a tree and placed it in the road. There was 55 of us and 20 of them. We popped out and opened fire. Within 30 seconds there was only 4 of them left. We shot and killed them.

I had a good nights sleep going until something exploded and woke me up. I got up and looked down and i saw a tank surrounded by soldiers. I yelled “get down” and dove towards the ground right as the tank shot. The shot made my ears ring. I looked up and saw my rifle, i lunged across the room and got it, loaded it and took cover. The tank let out another booming shot and I stood up and opened fire on the soldiers and shot and killed 10 of them. I then remembered their was a rocket launcher under my cot. I got it then stood up and fired at the tank. The tank exploded. I sighed in relief i looked over and saw lt davis under some rubble. I got the rubble off of him and he was bleeding out. I held him in my arms and yelled for a medic. Lt davis died in my arms. Lt davis was a great man. We moved to a nearby bunker and i got no more sleep that night.

It has been 24 hours since d-day, we are advancing further into the land. Seargant Peterson said it will take 2 hours to get to the checkpoint from here. We pack up and begin our walk. At first the wal seemed kind of peaceful. That all changed when we saw a French civilian hung on a tree. That’s when we realized the monsters we were dealing with. We continued our walk and saw one of our planes had been shot down. We searched the wreckage for any survivors but there weren’t any. We arrived at the checkpoint which was located in a old half burnt hotel. When i got inside it smelled like mold but at least it was some shelter

I am private Daniels. Today was horrible, it was d-day. We invaded Normandy to take it back from the Germans. This is the first battle engaged by the United States forces.  We floated in on these raft ship like things. We landed and the second we landed the gunshots started. There was thirty troops on that raft, eight got out alive and they were me, seargant peterson, lt davis and some other privates. I jumped over the side of the raft into the water. I got up and sprinted for cover. We made our way into the trenches and took back Normandy. I killed 17 people that day, this was my welcome to the war moment
