Eighty years ago

In 1994 me and wife, being Francophiles, took my mom and our 3 sons on a trip to FR. When we got to the American Cemetery at Normandy she left us and went to the guard booth. I didn't know that her high school sweat-heart had perished on the assault.

Her pen-pal died a few days before the cessation of hostilities as a partisan in the Dutch resistance.
