Eight years ago, I got my first taste of the Mediterranean with stops in England, Italy, Spain, and Malta during my vacation. The trip had so many highlights, but one particular moment will always stand out from the rest. It happened on the island of Malta in Valleta--a small country off the coast of Sicily. While there, I noticed an elderly married couple pointing and looking around an outdoor coffee shop. While her husband stood raising his cane at some of the pillars, his wife surveyed the area while holding an old photograph. When we approached the duo, the woman explained that her husband was a former British soldier who was once stationed on the island of Malta during World War II. The photo she was holding happened to be a photo of her husband from 1944 standing in that very spot. Chills! This moment was the first time in nearly 55 years that the man last stepped foot there. The two were quite humble and downplayed the significance of their visit, but we would have none of that. I snapped this photo of the two of them holding the photo and thanked them for sharing their story. It was a beautiful and perfect moment of history.
