The Boy on the Beach - Omaha Beach 2014

I did not shoot this video.
I did title it and post it here for memorial Day 2020.
I thought it was appropriate for the times.  Maybe it will remind viewers of how we are as Americans and how we got here.

On June 6, 1944 thousands of young men of every race, color and creed risked their lives for something they had in common that was worth saving.  Everyone of their lives mattered, and they succeeded, at great cost.
The message here is not only to remember the young me who gave their lives for us that day, but also that we are still Americans, we are still Americans, and we still have something precious that is worth saving.

The video was done as part of project vigil - started by The Boy On The Beach and his father in 2013.  Al I know is that the boy's name is Richie.  He is now 17 years old (in 2020). You can learn more about project vigil at:
