I never got to meet you, you died on a Normandy Beach in 1944, having lied about your age to join up at 17 and fight for your country. You were laid to rest in a small cemetary in Hermanville sur Mer, and I have visited several times to pay my respects. Your sisters, my mother being one, never forgot you, and neither shall I. Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice for my freedom.
