Set during the D-DAY landings on Omaha beach through to the surrender of the German Army in Europe the story follows Pvt Ron Abernathy, a soldier in the 16th Infantry Division who is wounded in a artillery barrage trying to save his wounded Captain after he is shot capturing a machine gun nest. The captain subsequently killed in the barrage. After being dragged to a shell crater by his close friend and while a medic is working to save his life his is reminiscing over past events with his friend by his side, the flashbacks take us from basic training where we meet one of three platoon captains and the main character along with his friend is introduced to Army life, then time in England where more training and preperation take place and we also get a look at the US soldiers experiences in wartime England, crossing the English channel where the main character/ second character and the platoon captain share their thought on what they wish to do when they return home from the war and the eventual beach assault from the approach on the landing craft, the struggle upto the seawall and the eventual rise up the bluff to where our main character is wounded and returns to England on a ship and meets a nurse named Mary Atherton. The story then jumps forward to where Ron returns to Europe and takes part in the breakout of Normandy, the battle of Aachen, the battle of the Bulge where a second platoon captain is killed, and the liberation of Czechoslovakia where he's friend dies. Ron then returns to England and is married to Mary at the end of the war where he becomes the father of 3 children. The story then jumps forward 50 years and see's Ron standing by his friends grave in Europe where we learn that Ron has been psychologically scarred from the war and has struggled to lead a normal life over the years. Ron then walks away from the grave and dies in Mary's arms at home in England with his family by his side. I have a story drafted for you to read so that if anyone wants to gain an understanding of my idea, this would be a more convient way. thanks for your vote
