26-G-06-24-44(2):   Normandy Invasion, June 1944.  Towed Back from Death.  Torn by German shells, the landing barge was sinking.  American soldiers aboard appeared lost as the little craft settled in the English Channel waters.  Along came a Coast Guard Rescue Cutter poking boldly into the shoal waters.  A line was cast and made fast.  The Coast Guard 83-footer and its tow were soon headed out from danger, June 1944.  (5/19/2015).
