    Medics on D-Day beach head in Normandy treat one of their own with an IV as the seawater rolls in behind them on June 6, 1944. Medics and physicians lost the majority of their first aid supplies and equipment when their landing vehicles sank or as they had to wade through often neck-high water to gain a foothold on Omaha and Utah beaches. Cries of “Doc!” and “Medic, medic!” rang across the noisy, blood-soaked beaches. Learn the heroic stories of D-Day medics and their unwavering commitment to treat wounded and dying.
