This is the story of a lonely cross engraved: “Known but to God,” in remembrance of “D” Day, which began eighty years ago, on the 6th of June, 1944. 

In June 2018, my wife and I visited the U.S. military cemetery on the bluff overlooking Utah Beach on the Normandy coast where the D-Day invasion took place nearly 75 years earlier.  We were in France with the Washington County Children’s Chorus who were on a singing tour.
