| These two fellow travelers were asked to sit here while our leader told this story: |
Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Dwight Eisenhower took this seat over Omaha Beach alongside Walter Cronkite in 1960. He was asked what he remembered most when looking back at the war. The former president was known to be quite fond of his grandchildren. He didn't speak of any of his great victories. Rather, he gestured toward the cemetery and said: "I think about the parents whose only son is buried there and will never know the pleasure of grandchildren."
