Beautiful time piece...and as a bit of history, I am sure that everyone knows that the 1st Infantry Division spearheaded the invasion at Normandy Beach and the 16th Infantry Regiment spearheaded the division. This was really nothing new as the 1st Infantry Division and the 16th Infantry Regiment spearheded all of the European Theater landings at Tripoli in N Africa, Sicily and Normandy...only this time, the Regiment lost over 1600 men in the first few hours!
Contrary to popular opinion, the Normandy invasion was poorly planned and even more poorly executed...the Navy's failures cost the lives of thousands!
