Monghidoro, Italy on a lazy Sunday afternoon (Memorial Day Weekend, 2012)
Memorial Day, 2012. I chose this weekend to honor my grandfather James Nix who is 94 years old, the last of his unit, who served his country during World War II overseas in these two towns: Monghidoro, and Loiano Italy.
By going to these towns, and recording my experiences for him to share this year on Father's Day, I hope that it will bring me a little closer to understanding this great man who I don't believe I really know as well as I thought I might have.
I feel myself incredibly lucky to have been able to finally do this for him. First of all, because in 1997 he paid a considerable amount to send me to school in Florence, and I was unable to complete the journey then.
So now, 15 years later, not only did I find myself with the income to be able to make the trip, but I still have my grandfather alive, and cognizant enough to appreciate that I have finally completed my hero's quest, and have made good on my promise!
