Private Fallon was a Paratrooper, and one of the Ramelle Paratroopers.

Biography

He jumped with the 101st Airborne in Normandy on June 6, 1944, for Operation Overlord. He was then rounded up by a 101st Colonel to go to Ramelle under the command of Captain Jennings. Jennings was eventually killed during the bombing, and Corporal Henderson became the new CO. Eventually, Miller's Men joined, and Captain John H. Miller became the new CO, forming the Ramelle Defenders. Fallon then participated at the Battle at Ramelle, where he hid in an alley, and shot at German Infantry with his M1 Garand. When he runs out, he is hit by a bazooka explosion, sending him flying into a window. He is presumed dead by the Saving Private Ryan Online Encyclopedia.
