Albert Moss

United States Army

from:Southampton, PA

For many service members, D-Day, 6th June 1944, was the day they will never forget. After a massive naval bombardment, Albert Moss, piloted a Higgins landing craft loaded with soldiers. The capacity was 36, and we had over 44. The machine-gun fire was all around us, like rain on the water. If you stuck your head up, it would get machine-gunned off. I put a cigarette in the mouth of a soldier next to me, I turned around to get a match, a mortar went off, and he was killed instantly. I was lucky. Moss would later take part in several more landings, including Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
