Major General John Carpenter Raaen, Jr., shown here with Gary Sterne during one of a number of visits he made to the Maisy Battery. The son of a career Army officer, he was appointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, where he served as Cadet Captain and Regimental Supply Officer. In October 1943, Lieutenant Raaen was assigned to the newly activated 5th Ranger Infantry Battalion at Camp Forrest, Tennessee. After leaving the US with the Rangers and training in England and Scotland with the British Commandos, he found himself in a landing craft approaching Omaha Beach on the morning of June 6th 1944.
Having survived the landing and crossing the beach, by the 9th of June he was in the village of Maisy directing the assault on the Maisy Batteries. His fully military history is recorded in his excellent book entitled INTACT in which he includes details about the Maisy battle.
