Seths trip to France with Wright State!

The study abroad trip to France was my first time overseas and second time out of the country. I met more friends at Wright State and got to know my classmate Caleb more who is with me in History. I had such a great time learning more about the culture of France and seeing the history, I realized just how young the United States was compared to nations like France. I learned so much more history being in France and seeing the men and women that were part of the Resistance against the nazis and the cemetery at Omaha beach where my fellow Americans gave their lives to free France and Europe.
