U.S. Army Private First Class Nicholas Hartman, a young soldier from Houston who died during the D-Day invasion at Normandy, has been formally identified thanks to DNA testing by the U.S. Department of Defense


Hartman was just 20 years old when he boarded a landing craft bound for Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944. The vessel struck an underwater mine and was hit by enemy fire, ultimately erupting in flames. For decades, Hartman's remains went unidentified.
