Waverly Woodson, Jr. honored
A 1944 photo of some of the Normandy Beach invasion group. Waverly Woodson, Jr., the World War II hero saved perhaps hundreds of lives on Normandy Beach. As a medic, the 21-year-old Woodson was assigned to the 320th Anti-Aircraft Balloon Barrage Battalion, the only black amphibious assault unit that the U.S. First Army used on D-Day.
