I had the opportunity to tour Normandy, Utah and Omaha beaches, Pointe du Hoc, and the American Cemetery there. Words can’t describe the moving experience it was. Most of these solders were in their late teens, early twenties. Yet they saved Europe.

“Hero” doesn’t adequately describe them, and “thank you” isn’t enough.

God bless all who have served, are serving, will serve.

My uncle Bill (RIP) was a 19 year old kid on Omaha beach. He survived. Several years ago the Detroit Free Press did a multi-page article about his experiences complete with a sketch artist.

My uncle Frank (RIP) was shot down in the Pacific. He survived. All of my uncles (7) served. All survived. One is still alive (not a WWII vet).

love to all vets, their families, their friends and my uncles
