This is a branded piece for the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Card by Chase, featured on Great Big Story.
Rishi Sharma is a World War II historian, and he is on a quest to meet and interview every single World War II combat veteran of the Allied countries – he’s already interviewed over a thousand for his nonprofit Heroes of the Second World War.
He meets Army veteran Harold McMurran in Normandy to conduct an interview before visiting the beachfront with him. McMurran was 19 on D-Day, and this is his first time back on Omaha Beach.
