Return in the Urn & The Quest for Tickets
Grandma called yesterday to say that if Grandpa "didn't make it" I am to have him cremated and the return trip would be made via "urn".
I'm thinking that applies to all of us. If something happens to me, take what you want and send the ashes home.
Currently trying to find entry passes to the ceremony at
Colleville sur Mer (14) 10.00 am - 10:30 am: Ceremony at 1st Infantry Division monument. If anyone has infomation on this please contact me.
