Medal of Honor Frontline by Electronic Arts

Lt. Jimmy Patterson:

The Cotentin Peninsula, France. June, 1944.

James Patterson, a 24-year-old Lieutenant in the Air Transport Corps, bravely piloted his over laden C-47 troop transport through bad weather, poor visibility, and vicious enemy fire to deliver a regiment of U.S. Airborne paratroopers to their drop zones behind the beaches of Normandy, France. The date was June 5, 1944--D-Day minus one.

As the last man hit the silk, Patterson's C-47 was intercepted by German fighters and shot down over the peninsula. With a hole in his tail and one engine burning, Patterson crash landed his plane into an open field bounded by the unrelenting hedgerows of Normandy. Jimmy and four of his crew survived.

Armed only with his pistol, an M-1 Garand rifle, and a few grenades, Patterson led his crew of airman toward the coast, taking out a few Wehrmacht checkpoints along the way. Running low on ammo and determination, the crew was finally found by a small but determined French resistance group known only as the Maquis. Earlier that evening, groups throughout Northwestern France had been alerted via Allied radio transmissions that the long-awaited, large-scale invasion against the German war machine was at last underway. They wanted in on the fight and were ready to help in anyway possible. Jimmy and his group were lucky. The same could not be said for the nearly 5,000 other brave Allied souls who lost their lives on that fateful day.

The resistance group saw them safely to a small port city just north of Quineville, on the Eastern edge of the peninsula. On board an unassuming fishing trawler, they risked certain destruction navigating miles of German mine-studded waters in an effort to reach the oncoming Allied armada, where Jimmy was taken aboard the transport ship U.S.S. Thomas Jefferson. Realizing that the task at hand would demand the efforts of every able bodied man aboard the vessel, Patterson's resolve was given over to duty. His finest hour was yet tocome.

Fully equipped for combat, standing shoulder to shoulder with members of the 116th Infantry in the cramped quarters of a Higgins Boat--now in tow beside the dark hull of the Jefferson, he listened intently to the quiet prayers of his newfound comrades in arms.

Lieutenant James Patterson was headed back into France...the hard way.
