The Bedford Boys: How day on shores of France forever changed Virginia small town

The beauty of Bedford, Virginia, is breathtaking in its natural splendor, but unseen is a lingering sadness.
Marguerite Cottrell recalled the painful moment a stranger appeared carrying terrible news nearly 75 years ago.
“I remember the day we got the message,” Cottrell said. “I knew something was wrong when this man delivered a letter."
The letter was a piece of paper that ravaged her family.
“I said, 'What was wrong?' And she said, 'Little Jack is gone,'” Cottrell said. “I said, ‘Gone?' She said, 'Jesus got my little boy now.'”
