#3 Frank and Harmon Colvett – Crossing the Finish Line in Normandy: A Father-Son Journey Through History

What started as a goal to run an international marathon became something much more meaningful. In this episode, Amy sits down with father and son Frank and Harmon Colvett to share the story of traveling to Normandy, France, to compete in the D-Day Landings Marathon.

The conversation goes far beyond running. Frank and Harmon reflect on spending 36 uninterrupted hours together exploring the historic D-Day beaches, visiting landmarks from Band of Brothers, and creating memories that neither of them will ever forget. Along the way, they discuss resilience, family, history, and the value of simply spending meaningful time together.

Amy also catches up with Harmon about his upcoming medical school journey, his experience as an EMT, his debut book, his upcoming wedding, and the passion that drives his career goals.

Whether you're a runner, history enthusiast, parent, or someone who enjoys stories about perseverance and family, this episode is packed with inspiration and plenty of laughs.

Quote of the Episode

"It was so frighteningly cool to sit there on a beach where, eighty-two years and one day before, the most monumental gamble in American twentieth-century history had happened."
