Hanson mentions Nutting's service at Normandy on D-day, his work as a secret glider spy, and his receipt of the purple heart, among other awards. Hanson also describes the experiences of Lloyd Hanson, who served in the Pacific theater of the war as a navy medic. Hanson recalls both of his grandfathers having nightmares about the war throughout their lives.
