There were those who doubted whether National Guard Units could hold up like regular U.S. Army units in wartime. Routinely assigned missions where the odds were stacked heavily against them, the 175th Regiment-29th Infantry Division not only silenced the doubters, they went on to gain a reputation as one of the fiercest fighting units of World War II. This is the story of one infantryman of the 175th-Forest S. Birch-as told to the author, his son, John F. Birch-over a period of many years, culminating in a recorded interview, made on June 6, 1994 (50th anniversary of the D-Day beach landings). The transcript of the interview is included.
