80 years ago today my grandfather began in Normandy what would end, for him, in Nagasaki. A long, long year and a half.

He lived until 1981 but the last pages of his book were written over that span, he just didn't know it yet. He'd be consumed by what he saw as a medic and never recover.

I can't say for certain, but I'd have to imagine he would be disheartened to hear we're still dealing with Nazis.
