Normandy

June 6, 1944

She was standing on the porch

that day in June

watching her youngest

come running up the steps

then across the lawn

when it happened

on a beach called Omaha

where her eldest lay now,

face down

no longer clawing

at wet sand.

She stood there, quiet,

holding him close,

fingering his hair.

Dear Charles Cingolani,

I am 95 years old and one of the first female scientists who fought against scientific fraud as a whistleblower. Being a woman scientist back then was practically unheard of. Women were looked down on intellectually, expected to raise children and run a home. . .
