Memorial Day—National WWII Memorial
Grandfather and Grandmother (and my mother) were in Washington DC this weekend for the dedication of the National World War II Memorial. Apparently the weather was mild and they had 20th row seats in a sea of two hundred thousand people.
My grandfather served in Italy during the war in the 10th Mountain Division. A book published last year details the exploits of this elite unit. It’s called The Last Ridge: The Epic Story of the U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division and the Assault on Hitler’s Europe by McKay Jenkins. Grandpa highly recommends the book and says it is very accurate. I plan on reading it this summer.
