| Video Discription | Donald A. McCarthy was drafted into the U.S. Army in July 1943, just after graduating from High School. After completing basic training McCarthy shipped overseas and was assigned to Headquarters Company, First Battalion, 116th Infantry, 29th Division. Early on June 6th, 1944 McCarthy climbed down the ropes of the SS Empire Javelin into his LCA (Landing Craft Assault). Originally scheduled to land in the Dog Green sector of Omaha Beach, the British Coxswain saw the chaos on the beach and instead landed the men in the Dog Red sector where they were met with intense machine gun and artillery fire. Through luck and determination McCarthy was eventually able to make his way up the beach and towards the Vierville Draw to reach his objective, the church in Vierville. He would be wounded on D-Day, but return to action in early July 1944. Donald A. McCarthy passed away on August 1, 2017 at the age of 93 Become an AVC Patreon member to receive an annual calendar, early access to videos, exclusive content, and several other perks.
