Frenchmen gather to commemorate Rudder
‘Brave one who came so far to liberate us 7
G ™WnS!^ Normandy,
he dateline is Pointe du Hoc
France,
he setting is a monument sur-
anded by shell-marked bunkers
it serve as a reminder of the
r fought for the cliffs between
ah and Omaha beaches and the
[hatical bravery that led a young
st Texan and the members of
2nd Ranger Battalion into
D-Day carnage to capture
them.
James Earl Rudder led the
Ranger battalion in the Normandy
invasion in one of the most
courageous and costly operations
of the war. Directed to send his
troops up the 90-foot cliff of
Pointe du Hoc, Rudder insisted
on leading them instead. He was
wounded twice but remained in
command.
President of TAMU, General
Rudder died four years ago but
Frenchmen and Americans gath
ered at Pointe du Hoc this month
on the anniversary of his death
in the nearby Croqueville church
to honor his memory.
The priest, 1’abbe Marie, evoked
the memory of General Rudder
and his soldiers and asked the
congregation to pray for “those
brave ones who came from so far
to liberate us.”
After the mass, the bearers of
the French and American flags
who were in the chancel area of
the church, took their places on
each side of the central aisle for
the unveiling of a marble plaque
draped by the American, French
and Normandy flags. The in
scription on the plaque reads,
“Christians, do not forget the
American soldiers who risked and
sacrificed their lives for you on
this cliff, June 6, 1944. The
steeple of this church guided
them. You owe them faithful
prayers that God will welcome
them.”
Preceded by the many flags, all
the people in attendance assem
bled at the monument to the dead
and a French government minis
ter told of the heroic assault of
General Rudder and his Rangers.
“It has been thirty years,” he
said. “The Committee of Debark
ment (landing) has seen to it
that his memory does not fade
away. We want all of the younger
generation to be well informed as
to what took place here in 1944.”
