“Caen Flight”
Today was an outstanding day and a great birthday. The day started off with multiple raps on my door about 06:15. Not suspecting anything, I went to open the door thinking that it was just the duty cadets for the usual morning wakeup call, but was mistaken because when I opened the door, I was greeted by a loud “Happy Birthday!” and lots of tape in my doorway. I noticed the tape and just closed my door, which surprised “Early groomers”. I grabbed my WWII helmet that I bought and ran through the tape.
i already heard today was going to be a long day. We travelled to the Juno Beach Museum and most of the day consisted of riding the coach, but I enjoyed myself with all my friends and my newly made English friends. At night, we slept in a castle, but before that just after dinner I was surprised by the staff when they got me a cake to celebrate my birthday, which I am grateful for and happy to think they would go out of their way for me.
Today was truly an amazing day. Sgt. Cook-Scott
