Day 3: Normandy
... over the beach; it was extremely moving. The memorial they have there is phenomenal. The next stop was Utah Beach, where grandpa landed two weeks after D-Day with the Signal Corps. Here, dad got to see for the first time where his father came ashore in WWII. It was incredible. We walked over the crest and saw the beach, walked down and touched the water. We even grabbed a couple seashells for keepsake, and -- get this -- ...
The D Day beaches of Normandy!

TDR's eldest son, Quentin, died in WWI, but the family wanted him to be buried with his younger brother, Teddy Jr., who died during the D-day landings. Teddy Jr.'s grave marker is unlike most of ...
The Beaches of Normandy Weekend: Part 1
... through a time line of events. It felt very much like an intense, thorough version of high school history class. Although, saw things in the museum that they would have never shared with us in a high school history class. I really feel now that i understand the panic, the devastation, the need for there to be hope back home in the States for the boys to come home.
