I had the privilege of being there in September at the Omaha Beach cemetery, and you look at the ages...some of these people were younger than my son. And I got to thinking- here's a spot where this marker stands that some little boy at one time played, lived and went off to war and never came home.
Ever wondered what it was like to land on the beaches of Normandy during World War II? Meet Charles 'Bud' Dasey, who was just 19 when he experienced the chaos and bravery of D-Day. Now 89, Dasey travels around with his 'D-Day in a Box' exhibit, visiting schools and museums to teach children about that pivotal moment in history.
In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Dasey to hear his firsthand account of the invasion, his service in North Africa and Italy, and his ongoing efforts to honor the memory of those who never made it home. Beyond recounting wartime memories, Dasey also shares how he supports the recovery of families and individuals grappling with mental illness and substance use disorders.
His story is one of resilience and hope, reminding us of the sacrifices made for freedom and the importance of supporting those in recovery. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that bridges the past and present.
