One Tough Ombre

The 90th “Texas Oklahoma” Division was nick-named “The Tough Ombres.” The men wore a T/O patch on their shoulders. But it was anything but tough when it hit Utah Beach and tried to move inland. Taking terrible casualties and making stupid mistakes, the Division was called “the worst on the continent” by top brass. Charles “Sarge” Goodson, a farm kid from Childress, Texas, came to the 90th Division as another green replacement. He was intensely proud of the Tough Ombres. But both Charles and the 90th Division had some fast growing up to do if they were going to survive.
