Mamie plunged five stories from a balcony walkway in an incident that occurred following intensive treatment for a previous medical emergency.
Jake Larson, a 101-year-old World War II veteran who participated in D-Day, history's largest amphibious invasion, at Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944, looks on during an interview with Reuters at his home in Martinez, California, U.S. May 20, 2024. REUTERS/Dylan Bouscher
He carried 74 pounds of gear in his pack, the waves rocked the landing crafts up and down four feet at times, the Germans fired 14-inch shells overhead and small arms from the dunes. Larson wears a black jacket inscribed with"WWII Survivor" and the six battles in Europe he survived including the Battle of the Bulge.
“I sensed someone took to my left. So I just hollered, 'hey, buddy, have you got a match?' I got no response," Larson said."So I looked back. There's a guy laying. And there was no head under the helmet. It was like magic. I was hearing the soul of that guy was telling me, 'Get up and run right now.' So I did.”
