Normandy landing US Troops WW2

Found a few sites that have original colour photos from WW2. They look really neat. US army Rangers awaiting Embarkation orders to begin the invasion of Normandy.

Normandy Invasion, June 1944


Troops in an LCVP landing craft approaching "Omaha" Beach on "D-Day", 6 June 1944.
Note helmet netting; faint "No Smoking" sign on the LCVP's ramp; and M1903 rifles and M1 carbines carried by some of these men.
