Giannoni told his story to the student body while being interviewed by Loeffler. He spoke on his experience in the war as well as his trip on the Central Valley Honor Flight to the National WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C.

When Giannoni first returned home from war, he never spoke about his experience overseas. For fifty years he kept silent, and it was not until his granddaughter asked him about his past for a school report that he finally told his story. Since then, Giannoni has visited 57 different schools to share the memories he has on the war.

In this episode, Giannoni relives his D-Day experience, June 6, 1944. He also shares the story of how he became a prisoner of war (POW) after being shot down by Germans only two weeks after D-Day.
