In his song The Boy in the Bubble, Paul Simon says, “Every generation throws a hero up the pop chart.” For my grandparents, that hero was Frank Sinatra. For my parent's older siblings, it was Elvis Presley. For my parents, it was the Beatles. Next was Michael Jackson. And now...Justin Bieber?

Last year I was a part of the Redeemer in France program. When I was finished my semester in France, I was able to travel with my parents and grandfather. The best day we had was spent on the beaches where D-Day happened. We were there on June 6, 2010 - the 66th anniversary of D-Day. I learned a lot that day.
