The story
U.S. Army vehicles roll ashore on one of the floating causeways of the Mulberry artificial harbor off Omaha Beach, 16 June 1944. The causeway had been erected by U.S. Navy SeaBees.
Note the half-track in the lead, towing a howitzer, and the Jeep behind it with a semi-circle marking painted on its grill.
