LAHAYE EDWARD J
8TH AIR FORCE

When the company was still 5000 yards out, the men saw the barrage from the rocket boats striking the water about 1000 yards to their right front. They saw nothing hit on their beach or anywhere near...(Group Critique Notes, 29th Division, 116th Regiment, 1st Bn., A Co. )
