He was 18 years old without a driver\u2019s license and had never picked up a rifle. Just days after the invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, he landed on Utah Beach. Levy helped dispose of the dead bodies littering the beaches before beginning his duties as a member of the Army Corps of Engineers.<\/p>\n<p>For the next 18 months, Levy was charged with building bridges and airways throughout France and Europe, allowing the Allied forces to push back the Germans and eventually win the war. After more than two years in the military, he was discharged a week shy of his 21st birthday.<\/p>\n<p>Seven decades later, Lamoreaux walked the same sandy pathways and streets alongside his grandfather as the world celebrated the efforts of everyone involved in the invasion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was the first time he\u2019d gone back to the actual beach,\u201d recalled Lamoreaux. \u201cHe had been back in there area since then, but that was the first time he\u2019d been back on that particular beach. I could see his eyes tearing up a bit. Everyone treated him like a superstar; they definitely appreciated what he did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Veterans and their families were invited to ceremonies and events connected to the D-Day anniversary. Many of the world\u2019s leaders were in attendance, including Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin, and Queen Elizabeth.<\/p>\n<p>It was at one of these ceremonies that Lamoreaux came face-to-face with the reality that was his grandfather\u2019s time in the war.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the Sword Beach ceremony, there was a presentation and a video,\u201d said the Wayne, Pa., native. \u201cI think it was there, seeing these heart-wrenching images in the video, that it hit me what my grandfather had gone through. He wasn\u2019t even my age when he went through all of it. It woke me up to what he went through and it\u2019s something he never really talked about before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An architect who worked at the White House during his post-war career, Levy was treated like a professional athlete by the native people according to Lamoreaux. Everywhere he went, he was met with appreciative smiles and questions about his contributions.<\/p>\n<p>Some of those contributions are still being actively used today. During their trip, Lamoreaux and his grandfather came across a pair of Bailey Bridges the latter had built during the campaign. They watched as cars continued to cross the still-sturdy construction.<\/p>\n<p>At the conclusion of the trip, Lamoreaux gained an entirely new perspective about both his grandfather and every veteran of World War II.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw how important everybody who participated in that war really is to how the world is today,\u201d said Lamoreaux. \u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for them, who knows what the world would look like today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The above article is a press release submitted to Swimming World.
