‘Felt like I should be here,’ grandson of D-Day vet says of ceremony
3 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 5:41 PM CDTAllan Williams looks stoic in the photo. His eyes are fixed on some unknown point, and his square jaw is clenched.
He was going into battle. His boat was approaching Juno beach.
On Saturday, Allan’s grandson Jonathan Williams remembered his grandfather’s sacrifice 80 years later at a D-Day remembrance event at Vimy Ridge Memorial Park.
“I just felt like I should be here today,” Jonathan, who looks strikingly like his grandfather, said. “I feel compelled to carry his story on.”
