Associated Press War Correspondent Roger Greene stands on the Normandy battle front shortly after D-Day, June 6, 1944. Greene wore a white patch over his right eye, lost in a childhood accident, and made the D-Day invasion landing with his broken left wrist encased in a steel-ribbed leather guantlet. Greene was shouldering a 65-pound rucksack and hanging his water-proof typewriter when he was dumped into the channel off the French coast. Greene, of Washington D.C., pressed on to the shore and landed in a bomb crater where he promptly wrote his story.
