“Having had the pleasure and honor of meeting a couple of D-Day veterans at the military museum where I work, this really has my attention.”

I had the pleasure of working on the D Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia and being there for opening day. Once the politicians had given their speeches and been photographed the veterans were allowed to wander the memorial and take pictures. We were a very humble group of construction workers the next week.

We had visitors at the museum not long ago who have been to that memorial. I looked it up online that night and it’s beautiful. It would be nice to be rich and be ale to travel all around to check out the different memorials and museums across the country, and that’s one I’d definitely go to.

Getting the chance to be around D-Day vets IS humbling, isn’t it?

I’m still going through the D-Day 24 Hours videos tonight and the more I watch, the more humbled I’ll be in the future should I have the opportunity to meet any more of those vets. I’m learning so much more than I ever thought I’d know. These two men put a LOT of effort into this video project.
