The Stonewall Brigade

The 29th Division's 116th Infantry Regiment Officially nicknamed the "Stonewall Brigade" landed on Omaha Beach, June 6, 1944. Tasked with spearheading the Allied invasion of Nazi occupied France. Coming ashore grossly overloaded and seasick, they struggled through rough surf, mined beach obstacles, murderous machine gun fire and unyielding artillery to reach their intended objectives. With a heritage that is traced back to the American Civil Was, the "Stonewallers" upheld their proud legacy of courage and valor.
