Normandy

It was a very poignant trip. To witness the spot where so many lives were lostwhat, where so much scarifice was made, was truly humbling. Its easy to take for granted the liberties we now have and the freedoms we enjoy today. Its easy to see the older generation and not think much about what they've given for us to have what we have. That trip brought it home for me. The sculptures erected to remember them were so apt too: The Wings of Hope, Rise, Freedom & The Wings of Fratenity. So today, whatever you do, take a moment to remember our vulnerable elderly and think how you can serve them. Some of them or their parents were probably part of the cohort that did so much for us.
