To all of those that gave everything. Three of my family members were there, including my Father. My Grandfather was in the Navy, in the Pacific at the time. Two of my Uncles were also a D-Day. My brother's Father was in Corregidor, and was captured when it fell. He was part of the Bataan death march. He ended up in prison in the Philippines, then transferred to Japan until 1945.
An amazing amount of sacrifice. It's incredible that every member of my family somehow made it home, while so many didn't. 19 from Bedford, VA didn't make it through Normandy.
