US Airborne Lieutenant Colonel Robert George Cole

On June 11, 1944 Lt. Col. Robert Cole, with the 101st Airborne Division, had the objective to take Carentan. The young commander called in a smoke barrage right in front of the German positions and ordered his men to fix bayonets and charge. Many Americans were killed as they assaulted, but more than 100 of Cole’s men managed to reach the German lines causing the defenders to flee. The attack would go down in history as “Cole’s Charge”.

Cole won the Medal of Honor, but was killed in combat before the citation could be presented.
