Jess went to France with Boppa and other WWII vets to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. Your great grandfather is 92 in this photo and talked about having served in five European campaigns, some under Patton. He was shot in his side by a German soldier while fighting along the Moselle River in France. "I saw the guy," he says of the experience. "He was faster than I was, so he shot me. Went through my side and out my back." And he lived to tell the story and so much more -- without him, there'd be no you.
