[Adam Helmer]

I now have a sample of sand from Omaha Beach, Normandy, France among my WWII memorabalia. My neighbor went to France two weeks ago and just arrived home here in PA 3 days ago. He honored my request and brought back some sand from the D-Day Beach. He was able to sneak my sand through Customs and now my den has an addition that enhances the WWII theme.

He also brought back a bottle of red French wine that will be consumed at dinner tonight and the empty bottle will repose in my den.
