Being a Ranger was not for the faint of heart. It's worth reading up on the missions spearheaded by the Ranger battalions during Operations Husky and Overlord, but suffice to say here, Rangers paid a heavy toll for their victories. All carefully-vetted volunteers, being a Ranger meant being the tip of the spear during amphibious invasions. Perhaps made most famous by 'Saving Private Ryan,' the Rangers after D-Day would regularly be used as “firefighters,“ sent wherever the need was greatest and the situation most dire to stomp out the threat and save the day. I've included in the links an article titled 'Beyond the Beach' which makes for enlightening further reading!
