Very powerful article by Barry Svrluga My Grandfather's Secret D-Day Journal.
I got choked up several times reading this. If you don't have a similar reaction - pretty sure I don't want to know you.
Can't help but think of the thousands who went through similar (or worse) D-Day experiences as Bill Svrluga Sr. but who never kept a journal. Most of those heroes have passed without their families ever knowing of the horrors their grandfathers experienced. This is not to mention all the young men who never survived D-Day.
To honor their sacrifices - we have to remember what D-Day meant. Thank you Barry Svrluga for sharing your grandfather's story.
