The Roanoker - March/April 2019 - DDay28
BY DAN SMITH
'IT WAS A LONG AND HARROWING DAY'
Chuck Neighbor, 94, is a resident of Roanoke.
Here, he looks back on his role on June 6,1944.
Chuck Neighbor,
2019 and in 1940s.
"I was handicapped with the flamethrower
on my back, the nozzle in one hand, and
my rifle in the other, but I managed
to get up and stumble ahead and
fall behind a clump of iris ... We
were no longer being hit with
artillery or mortar fire, but
machine gun and rifle fire was
becoming heavy. Sgt. Fischer
came up from behind me and
leaped behind a clump of high grass about ten
yards in front of me. When he rose to motion
the machine gunners forward, a rifle bullet hit
him in the stomach. He had been fatally
injured, but he emitted some agonizing groans.
I could do nothing to help him, and I could not
tell how badly he had been hurt, but all I could
think of [was] that if we were injured, we should
lay quietly and allow the others to go on."
- From Charles Neighbor's 2013 book One Man's War Story
