Welcome to the Bill Parker Page
This series focuses on Bill’s return to Omaha beach in 2022, 78 years after he landed with the first wave.
Tony and Ryan Walk Bill Parker’s Path on D-Day at Omaha Beach
After extensive research, Tony and Ryan find and walk the likely path Bill Parker took as a soldier who landed on D-Day in the first wave with the 116th Reg of the 29th Inf Division.
Currents swept his landing craft to the west away from his landing beach on Easy Red to Easy Green where he would've scaled the less well defended St. Laurent Draw.
This was filmed on June 6th, 2022 on the 78 anniversary of this fateful day. Join us as we walk in his footsteps…
Note: In the video I have east and west reversed.
