My grandaddy and his 3 brothers were on Higgins boats the first day. Only two of them survived the first day, and only he survived the war.
Thank you all veterans.
I served in the military. Thankfully I never came anywhere close to having a day like these brave men. I remember going through an airport in Germany on my way to a deployment. I was going to a relatively peaceful area. I saw a group of soldiers who were on there way to very unstable area and all I could think of were how many had kids, were married, had family worried about them. Those brave men and women served their country regardless, and ever since that day I have had the deepest respect and gratitude for my country and the men and women who served it. God bless you all!
