Sayre and I are honored to be joined by MG (Ret) John Raaen. MG Raaen graduated from West Point in the January class of 1943 as an engineer. Before long he volunteered for the Rangers and became a company commander in the 5th Ranger Battalion. We talk through his experiences at West Point when he learned of the attack at Pearl Harbor, the rigors of Ranger training and coming ashore on Omaha Beach on June 6th, 1944.
