Andrew Torrance, the fire support noncommissioned officer for “Attack Company,” 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade. Torrance visited Normandy, France, for the D-Day 82 commemoration to honor his family's legacy, including his grandfather and great uncle, who were both involved in helping to liberate France during World War II.
