PAX...while the Longest Day was a fantastic read, it was more about the Airborne operation. The best book, IMO, ever written about the amphibious invasion of Omaha Beach is, Omaha Beach: D-Day June 6, 1944 by Joseph Balkoskie.

It is written from the perspective of the 29th Infantry Division's mission - to support the 16th Regimental Combat Team of the 1st Infantry Division on the Easy Red sector of Omaha Beach.
Thanks for the tip, buddy. I'll have to look that read up.
