[trash-panda-kitty]

Charles Norman Shay (1924–2025) has passed.

Penobscot medic. Silver Star. Omaha Beach survivor.

One of the last Native American witnesses to D-Day.

He ran into the surf at 19 with nothing but bandages and the will to keep strangers alive.

He spent the next 80 years fighting against erasure.

Of his people, of their service, of the truth.

A living bridge between history and memory is gone.

Remembering Charles Shay and the Vanishing Generation of Native American WWII Veterans

Honoring a Penobscot medic’s life, legacy, and the fading memory of Native soldiers at Omaha Beach.

These brave women sailed back and forth across the English Channel many times, enduring bombs, mines and attacks by the Luftwaffe, rarely stopping to think about the danger they were in but all the time caring for the wounded men entrusted to their care."
