Staff Sgt. Ray Lambert served as a U.S. Army medic, landing during the first wave at Omaha Beach on "D-Day." Previously decorated with a Silver Star and Purple Heart for service in North Africa and Sicily, Lambert was wounded immediately upon landing at Omaha Beach.
Despite his injuries, he continued to tend to wounded soldiers, sheltering them behind a chunk of concrete that would become known as ‘Ray’s Rock,’ until he was wounded twice more and evacuated from the battlefield. Ray would be awarded the Silver Star, along with the Purple Heart, for his heroism on Omaha Beach.
Staff Sgt. Lambert passed away on April 9th, 2021 at the age of 100.
