Hi everyone!
My name is Kelly Pilarsky and this fall I am set to start my senior year at The Ohio State University. I am a history major with a specialization in 20th century military history and post graduation I hope to work in a museum. World War II is my favorite historical period to study so I am so extremely excited to finally visit some of the places I have spent years studying.
I’ve never left the country or been on an airplane before so this trip is sure to be life-changing. Of all the sites I’ll get a chance to visit on this trip I’m most excited to visit Normandy; I’ve been a fan of Stephen Ambrose for years and have read a number of his works that covered D-Day.
Before I get on the plane I’d just like to thank Dr. Steigerwald, Dr. Davidson, all of the program donors, and everyone whose work made this amazing program possible; my life is sure to change because of them.
