At Normandy American Cemetery, the tradition of rubbing sand from Omaha Beach on headstones carries immense significance. Each grain symbolizes the beaches where the brave soldiers of D-Day made their ultimate sacrifice. 🇺🇸 #DDay80

On Friday we traveled to Oxford, FL to visit WWII Veteran Irving Locker. Promoted to Staff Sergeant at the age of 19, Locker promised the men of 1st Army’s 7th Corps 116th AAA Gun Battalion one thing, “to bring them home alive.” Continue to follow to hear Irving’s D-Day story.
