My grandfather was a U.S. soldier in D-Day. He survived the event, and was actually wounded later in France. My grandfather has passed on since then, and nowI’m organizing a trip with my family, because I think it is important that we all go to these beaches and see where our relative took part in an important event in world history. I never really knew my grandfather, and I feel by going there, I will get to understand more of what he lived through.
