In late August of 2025, I wrote about the permanent memorial to US soldiers being planned in Gouesnou France.
One of the soldiers was a cousin’s grandfather. His mother’s father died in Gouesnou during World War II when she was two years old. Because I had her name in my family tree, someone associated with the memorial contacted me, and others, to locate relatives. I’m happy to say my cousin was contacted.
My cousin emailed me this afternoon and sent me pictures from the event. He said it was a very moving ceremony. It is nice to know that soldiers have continued to be honored overseas for over 80 years.

I am a collector of family history - pictures, stories, facts - whatever I can get my hands on. I share that at It's All About Family. I started Thoughts From the Passenger Seat because I have a lot on my mind! It started riding on the back of my husband's motorcycle and on business appointments but I don't do much of either anymore but the thoughts are still there.
I enjoy writing and I hope you find something that you connect with on either of my blogs.
