This is a photo
of the Omaha Beach Landing about the time
of his death
The first wave of landing crafts were with
soldiers and following them taking
the beach, the landing of tanks, jeeps,
food supplies and other machinery was
underway.
They were under fire the whole time.
Each one is a has its own numbers and
he was on several different ones.

I found he is listed in the records of the
Roll
of Honour Landing Craft deaths in
Normandy.
It is a little difficult to use but at the
bottom of the page you want page 35. (but it
is easier to just put his last name in "Find
on page" and it will go right to it.)
They list several numbers for him.
Most of the dead were on just one landing
craft but he was on several, likely he was
moving back and forth operating on several.
With the numbers you can do research on
Omaha Beach and put his story together. He
was killed in action.
That website tells about the book/author who
collected the information for his book and
luckily he has shared it.
Thermon J Stanbery is in a cemetery
overlooking "Omaha Beach". That info below.
His WWII Registration Card is on this
page below.

The Information about it being in the Pacific
was
to hide the details about preparations about
D-Day.
He died at Normandy, France and is buried
there.
