this was location of one of most terrible military sacrifices in this history of our country.&nbsp; We had all been talking for months about taking a night swim at Dieppe, and now was the moment&#8230; the kids turned to us wondering if we were serious&#8230;&nbsp; I remember looking over at Scouter Dan, Dan shrugged, and we ran into the ocean together.&nbsp; What a way to end a
