My Hero

My hero has to be my grandpa. He passed away due to cancer several years ago but he fought in the second World War to protect our country. He was in the 601st Tank Destroyer Battalion and operated armored vehicles. On June 6, 1944 he stormed the beach at Normandy on a mission to liberate Paris and it was a success. He also fought in all three campaigns against Nazi Germany. One in Italy, one in Northern Africa, and obviously the one in Europe. He risked his life for our country and I can never thank him for that. Without him and his comrades, the majority of the world could be under Nazi control to this day.
