In the summer of 2011 Mr. Kevin Wagner, Social Studies Program Supervisor,
and Sam Spare (12th grade) had the privilege to be a part of the
National History Day's Teacher Institute - Normandy: Sacrifice for
Freedom. This 10-day experience had them travel to Normandy and learn
about the D-Day invasion from a hands-on approach. As part of the
institute, Sam was asked to research a soldier that died during the
invasion and then give a eulogy at the soldier's grave site in the
American National Cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach. This research
sparked the idea for Mr. Wagner's AP U.S. History classes to each year
select soldiers who lost their lives during the D-Day invasion and
create a website in that soldier's honor - The Silent Heroes. What
follows are the students' tributes to our fallen heroes.
NOTE - If you have any additional information, photographs, or primary documents relating to any of the persons listed below, please contact Mr. Kevin Wagner at [email protected]
This footage was prepared by the SHAEF (Supreme Headquarter Allied Expeditionary Forces) Public Relations Division and is a compilation of four reels of film regarding D-Day up to D plus 3.

"Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds -
and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of -
wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence.
Hovering there I've chased the shouting wind along
and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.
"Up, up the long delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,
where never lark, or even eagle, flew;
and, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
the high untrespassed sanctity of space,
put out my hand and touched the face of God."
- Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
