It’s hard to put into words how awe-struck I was at being where the battle of Normandy kicked off. To be surrounded by so much history, and hearing the many tales of suffering, bravery, loss, and achievements is truly a profound experience. It reveals facets of humanity that are both awe inspiring, and tragic. That we had to ask so much of our youth, and they answered the call, makes me proud, sad, and ultimately, so appreciative of the freedoms we enjoy today. Never forget.
