The Boys of Pointe Du Hoc

"These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs.These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war" - Ronald Reagan on the fortieth anniversary of the Normandy Invasion. You will find these words and much more in The Boys of Pointe Du Hoc where Douglas Brinkley tells us about the Rangers who attacked the cliffs and about the President who paid them homage and the speech he gave. The eyes got misty again rereading this story. I recommend it.
