My uncle was 9 years old in 44, he saw an American soldier for the first time, and he gave to him an orange from California. First time for him. And after that when he grew up he just wanted to buy oranges from California.
My great grand father joined the French 2nd Armored Division in 44 and he went in Paris, Strasbourg and he ended up at the eagle’s nest in Berchtesgaden (Germany) with the 101st Airborne Division.
I used to come with my school at Omaha beach when I was little and after with my family to see the sites and the commemorations, after those days, it was impossible for me to forget them so I started to do some reenactment during the commemoration of D-DAY and I met WW2 veterans.
I’d always an interest for the uniforms and to help the people, so during my high school I became volunteer firefighter and I joined the French Army for 5 years. Just after high school when I was 20.
After my service I decided to work in New-Zealand during 1 year on a vineyard and learned English over there.
