On a recent visit to the American Cemetary at Omaha Beach, my first, I brought with me a small flag from my birthday last year (I was born on the 4th of July in 1953). I wanted to honor a d-day veteran by placing it on a grave. I chose the grave of Pvt Claude E. Hope a young man who died on d-day. Honored by David Zensinger [2013-06-24 17:26:42] |
