On 6 June 2014, the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings, I started a 895-mile walk from Normandy Beach in France to the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany to honor my father, his World War II Army Air Corps veterans who liberated Europe, his Berlin Airlift Air Force veterans who kept Berlin free and alive, and all Allied veterans and their families who supported them.
