One WWII veteran had a profound moment on the 80th anniversary of D-Day. He returned to Utah Beach one of the beaches where the Invasion of Normandy launched. Walking through the sand, it's clear the veteran is overwhelmed by emotion. I've never been in the armed service, but I can imagine that the moment was intense. All those emotions swelling at once. While I can't confirm that the veteran actually took place in D-Day, it would seem so given the significance of the video and how he acts.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
