"Profoundly moving...touching... was my first visit to the D-Day Memorial - I had met these soldiers fifty-six years earlier... As I was making the rounds at the Memorial in solemn thought, a strange new emotion lifted from my soul. One as of a joy of immense gratitude enveloped my being. I have seen the results of war - I have lived the aftermath and suffered the loss. But now, just to think, I live in this country, in Virginia, in Bedford, just four miles from the D-Day Memorial! -- I am in awe... These brave men - thousands of them, they came, they waded, crawled and fought their way to shore that day. They, on that infamous day, stamped into the sand of Normandy - with their blood, the beginning of the end. Yes, they came as victors, but with their valor they also came as liberators. They set the stage, they paved the way, they opened the door for me and my family to come to this country, the greatest land on earth. I shall be forever grateful." FRANZ X. BEISSER, III
