An American soldier, who died in combat during the Allied invasion, lies on the beach of the Normandy coast, in the early days of June 1944. Two crossed rifles in the sand next to his body are a comrade’s last reverence. The wooden structure on the right, normally veiled by high tide water, was an obstruction erected by the Germans to prevent seaborne landings.

Get On Board “The idea for the Yankee Papa 13 story was born, in a sense, on March 8, 1965, when 3,500 American Marines landed in Vietnam,” Burrows’ son, Russell, recently told LIFE.com. “My father photographed the fully clad Marines marching through downtown Da Nang, and he thought , ‘We’ve got to do a feature on all these young Americans pouring into Vietnam.’ Within weeks, he was photographing Marines in Helicopter Squadron 163, flying with them, living with them. That was going to be the story — young soldiers and their lives in the midst of war.” Pictured: American and South Vietnamese troops board a chopper, March, 1965. -Source
