    A 1944 article describes the improbable reuniting of U.S. Navy Petty Officer William J. Mundy and U.S. Army Cpl. Charles Mundy, brothers who served during World War II. Charles Mundy is the grandfather of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. 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.
