Back in college I spent a semester in France and during the weekends I tried to partially retrace his steps during the war. I went to Normandy and photographed the graves of the seven men from his unit buried there and I visited the bridge over the Rhine he helped capture—my family has the Nazi flag that flew over the Bridge at Remagen, which he removed and replaced with the American flag.
He never talked much about his time in the war but he did write it down.
