D-Day Surprise

June 6

A reporter I met in 1959 had returned to Normandy that year to do a 15th anniversary story.

He said the beach was empty except for a couple in their early thirties walking hand in hand along the water’s edge. He asked the couple where they were that day in 1944.To his surprise they pointed to a concrete bunker. Both,French teens then, had been conscripted  by German gun crews to make coffee runs. The couple met when they took cover from the invasion barrage. Later they married.They had returned this day as the 15th anniversay of the day they first met.

 Isn't that what the invasion was about, to free people from bondage to love one another?

"Love endures all things. Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:7-8)
