Walking the beach, smelling the battlefield, and the will of the warrior

Interesting ideas with Stan Hustad

It's June 6. 80 years ago today thousands of soldiers sailors and others stormed the beaches of Normandy in France to begin the invasion that ultimately would destroy the Nazi empire and bring it into the second world war in Europe after millions upon millions of people had died, suffered, and had their lives ruined.

I have walked through that bloody battlefield and so may I share some of my stories about that experience of being on the beach. I have a very personal story about a man in my family connection who was very much involved in all that happened through that horrible war. He became a good friend and I was able to help him tell his story which was an incredible story indeed.

So please take about 15 minutes for me to tell you the story and then perhaps suggest some things that we can do and better understand as we live our lives in these trouble times today,

Thank you for hearing my story!
