    June 6, 2024, marked the 80th Anniversary of D-Day at Normandy.

    It was a trip most World War II veterans didn't get to take... but for 99-year-old veteran Sgt. George Cross, it was a trip filled with memories of war, hope, and uncertainty.

    Sgt. Cross was able to make the trip thanks to Twister Sugar, a Valley business that raised travel funds for the special commemoration planned for the anniversary of D-Day.

    Cross is now back in the Valley and sharing his experience with ABC15.
