Viva la France! 
Every year in France, there's a ceremony that rarely makes headlines.
Ordinary people & families collect sand from Omaha Beach — where Americans lost 2,400 lives on D-Day.
Then, they use it to fill in the letters on their tombstones of the fallen.

I had heard that the families in France would “adopt” a soldier and take care of the final resting spot for years.

D-Day - Remembering, Celebrating and honoring world history - and the heroes who suited up and strapped in to fight for all that is right, whether jumping or gliding behind enemy lines or landing on the beaches! Heroes!

"Heroes", that term doesn't even scratch the surface of the magnitude of their service, bravery, and selflessness... We owe them the best of everything...
