Memorial Day is not just a day for parties and BBQ's with friends and family.

Memorial Day is a day to remember those who gave all for our freedom.

When this 11 year old visited Normandy last year, he learned about, and spent four days teaching visitors and tourists about three paratroopers who had been buried in the American Cemetery.

On this particular windy day, he struggled to hold the flag steady. That's when he said he had a vision of soldiers storming the beach 70 years earlier. Without knowing it, he raised his hand to his head to salute the fallen heroes. He held that position for and hour and a half, only moving his hand to wipe away some tears. He didn't even move as the tide came in.

Soon, people started gathering to see if he was real, and to take pics. Then, some veterans showed up. This is a very powerful video.

Have a fun, and safe Memorial Day, and take a moment to remember the men and women of our Armed Forces.
