Reflection
This opportunity has profoundly changed my life, and how I experience it. The Normandy: Sacrifice for Freedom Institute has changed the way I view learning and history. Learning about other subjects, now, after having experienced the real, hands-on learning experience provided by the Normandy Institute, is going to feel bland and less interactive; learning from the primary source is how it should be done.
My research has changed my appreciation of freedom and sacrifice. the concept of sacrifice has been made clearer, and freedom a right I hold more dear. I now understand the significance of the sacrifices made by so many men and women in all wars, especially World War II.
The day I chose Allen Perry Moberly as my solider, I had no idea the impact Allen would have on my life, nor how close I would come feel to him, nor how much I would come to respect and care for him. Allen will forever be encased in my memory.
I thank Albert H. Small and National History Day for providing me with this amazing opportunity—an opportunity that I will never be able to forget.
