This photograph was taken in 2006, on Omaha Beach in Normandy. The boys were fascinated by this sculpture, presumably a memorial to all the men who died on Omaha Beach on D-Day. Jaime was going on 12, and he already understood the significance of being on that beach; Javi was just happy to run around and stand beside the shell-blasted walls of the old German coastal defense.
My boys were able to enjoy the beach that day, because of all the boys who came ashore and fought and died on that beach, all those many years ago.
