00:07.639 --> 00:10.340
The 80th anniversary of D day was a

00:10.350 --> 00:12.300
really unique opportunity for me

00:12.310 --> 00:15.239
because my paternal grandparents were

00:15.250 --> 00:17.194
both World War I veterans with the

00:17.194 --> 00:19.059
Royal Air Force . And so this

00:19.069 --> 00:22.899
opportunity to learn about and

00:22.909 --> 00:26.209
engage with veterans from that conflict

00:26.610 --> 00:30.379
and see the impact that it had on

00:30.389 --> 00:32.830
civilization and , and people in Europe

00:32.840 --> 00:35.840
was just an incredible experience . I

00:35.849 --> 00:38.529
would remind every sailor out there

00:38.540 --> 00:40.429
that when you have an opportunity

00:40.429 --> 00:42.484
stationed overseas to participate in

00:42.484 --> 00:43.929
these types of historical

00:43.929 --> 00:46.590
commemorations , jump at those chances

00:46.599 --> 00:49.849
really inspire awe and remind you why

00:49.860 --> 00:52.759
you raised your hand and volunteered to

00:52.770 --> 00:54.590
serve in the United States Navy .
