I’m in Normandy right now, flying formation over the memorials and pointe du hoc and the beaches. I’m wrapping up my enlistment, and always saw the military as a stepping stone more or less for my actual goals. But flying over and recognising the gravity and atmosphere of the events that happened years ago, rekindled my patriotism and instilled in me a new found appreciation for the commitment I’ve served alongside my friends and allies. My unit dropped the airborne units over Normandy 79 years ago. 37th Troop Carrier Squadron, Go Bluetails!

After travelling to Normandy last year, nothing can describe the feeling of standing in that cemetery, the sheer size and number of graves is surreal. There is also the Bayeux cemetery with all the commonwealth graves, which hits home as a Welshman. At Bayeux there is over 400 German tombstones which demonstrates how they were just people too, fighting somebody else's war.
