Joseph Raymond Goulet, a veteran who landed on Omaha Beach in Normandy, France on D-Day, has died. The New Hampshire resident died on July 4. He was 99.
On June 6, 1944, he landed with the first wave of the 1st Infantry Division at Omaha Beach, but never ended up having to use his French language skills.
During the rapid advance toward Germany, Goulet drove trucks loaded with fuel, ammunition and other needed supplies to the advancing front lines. He became part of what became known as the"Red-Ball Express" which ran truck convoys nonstop regardless of the enemy, the weather or other obstacles.
