It should be mentioned that this list omits a possibly greater number of men seriously wounded on June 6 who died later. Also many were Missing In Action instead of KIA because identifiable bodies were never found. It possibly would be more informative to list the names of those who answered active duty roll call on June 5th versus June 7th.
