The Bedford Boys by Alex Kershaw Advance Reading Copy Published 2003 by De Capo Press "On June 6, 1944, nineteen boys from Bedford, Virginia - population 3000 - died in the first bloody minutes of D-Day when their landing craft dropped them in shallow water off Omaha Beach. Thery were part of the first wave of American soldiers to hit the sands of Normandy. Later that day, two more soldiers from the same small town died of gunshot wounds.
