Nice one Matt! Check out the expression on that medic's face. He must have seen his share of suffering and then some that day.

Geez, I just realized that the casualty that they are tending to is another medic in the 4th Division. This means that they are on Utah Beach and not Omaha beach. Over the Medic in backs left shoulder it looks like someone else huddled in a blanket. as well as along the left side of the page. This may be an aide station set-up at the seawall.
