    Julius Shoulars, a 94 year old US Navy veteran, recalls his service during WWII as a coxswain. Shoulars was assigned to the 7th Naval Beach Battalion, which went ashore during the allied invasion of Normandy, France in June 1944. After returning stateside, he reported for duty on the West Coast aboard the Haskell-Class Attack Transport USS Karnes (APA-175) and served in the Pacific. (US Navy Photo by Max Lonzanida/Released).
