One day after D-Day, June 7th 1944, the first elements of 2nd Infantry Division landed on Omaha Beach. Two days later, the 38th Infantry Regiment attacked the town of Trévières, which today is only about seven minutes from Omaha Beach. The attack on Trévières became the baptism of fire for the 38th Regiment. The next morning, Trévières was under control of the 38th Regiment. In the course of one and a half day, a decent part of the town center was destroyed.
