edit: it was this thread..http://www.network54.com/Forum/47208/message/1089310983 sadly no picture anymore

I am in contact with Dan Fong, so I asked him for the picture. Although he did not have the picture on his PC anymore, he was kind enough to copy the picture again from his copy of the book 'Kilroy Was There: A GI's War In Photographs'. The only caption with the photo was 'June 8, 1944, Omaha Beach'. Dan has no indication if the caption is accurate or not.
