The past couple of days I had a wonderful time guiding Michele and Hermon. Hermon's father went through Normandy to continue the push towards Germany. Michele's grandfather : Joseph John Hudsco, was an engineer, he landed on June 10th with 9th Infantry Division and their job was to cut the Cotentin Peninsula.
In the many villages they liberated, there was my grandfather's who was 12 years old at the time.
Joseph was killed near St Lô by friendly fire on July 23rd.
I am always grateful when family members of soldiers who fought to liberate my homeland trust me to guide them.
This photo was taken in front of Valognes's church. Where I shared with them a part of my family's history during WWII.
