These were great men who changed the course of history with their bravery and sacrifice.

My grandfather was at Normandy. Only he and one other survived from his division. He got lucky, and only caught shrapnel in his neck.

He ended up at the end of the war at Hitler’s home in Austria, where he took a table leg as a trophy, on which many of the soldiers who were there scratched in their names.

Despite being an avid hunter prior to the war, he never picked up a gun again.

After he retired he volunteered to rebuild homes after natural disasters, and while on the roof of home build in Montserrat, the guy next to him was telling the story of surviving Normandy and only one other survived. They were in the same division.

God bless them all.
