My daughter and I met you while on a trip to Normandy in 2012 walking around the main bunker at Point Du Hoc. Meeting you was a great honor. I remember standing with you and my daughter for a photo and telling my daughter she met a true hero. It was a real honor. Thank you for your service and kindness. You left a lasting impression on my daughter and me. I think of you often. May God Bless you and your family!
