Grand Marshal Marian Richards
Miriam Richards
Mrs. Richards served as an Army Nurse in the South of England on D-Day June 6, 1944. While working the night shift at an Army Hospital, she stood outside looking up and listening to the night sky as thousands of aircraft headed towards Normandy. The next afternoon she tended to the wounded that returned from the battlefield. 40 days later she  waded ashore on Omaha Beach to serve at a field hospital. She was later assigned to tent hospital in Liege, Belgium where she found he rself among the American forces surrounded by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge. During this time she was constantly under fire from artillery and buzz bombs. Less than a quarter of a mile away 30 of her fellow medical staff were killed when one of the German rockets struck. Today Mrs. Richards is a proud veteran and currently a resident of Ben Atchley State Veterans Home.
