A tribute to veteran Donald J. Robertson

One Wednesday, a ceremony in front of the monument of the 29th American Division in Vierville-sur-Mer paid tribute to Donald J. Robertson This veteran of genius had landed in Omaha Beach with the first mission of destroying the anti-tank wall that blocked access to the village.

Wounded on the beach, he had been evacuated to England for treatment, before being assigned to the 29th American Infantry Division until the end of the war.

Reconstructed or uncertain passages:
- The printed legend dates its landing on "June 4, 1944", an indication inconsistent with the context of D-Day; this uncertain date is not affirmed in the rewriting.
