This was our D-Day day. My grandfather, Will Schaaf, flew that day and survived. In fact he survived all his missions and lived to be 93 years old, which I’m so grateful for. My overall feeling though is that the coast of Normandy is beautiful, and also still saturated with the residue of war. I’m glad to have been there with Cedar so he could see a little of the true cost of war.
