Le lieutenant Donald K. Johnson ( à gauche ), officier de l'Us Navy porte un petit orphelin (Gilbert Desclos ) qui était placé chez sa nourrice. Johnson se prit d'affection pour cet enfant qu"il trouvait chétif et se chargea de le nourir au mess, il le considérait comme son fils. En poste sur Omaha Beach, Donald Johnson, était chargé de la circulation maritime et l'acceuil des troupes qui débarquaient, Pendant deux mois l'enfant suivit l'officier de partout que se soit en jeep en dukw ou sur les bateaux. Très lié Johnson entreprit des démarches par voies hiérarchiques pour pouvoir adopter le petit garçon de 7 ans, mais celles-ci n'ont jamais abouties. L'autre soldat est Donald Sheneman de la 302nd Military Police Escort Guard Company, et porte une petite fille ( Georgette Godes ) qui vivait chez sa grand-mère. Lors de cérémonies du 50e anniverssaire, des retrouvailles eurent lieu. La fille et la veuve de Johnson ont pu retrouver Mr Desclos vivant à Colombelles. Ces dernières sont venues lui rendre visite en 1996. Donald Sheneman à quant à lui a retrouvé le 3 juin 1995, Georgette Godes qui habite maintenant à Ouistreham. (Photo US Signal Corps ).
