My condolences on your loss.
And, as a european, my thanks to you grandfather and his cohorts for all they did for us.
...and he would have looked you in the eye, shook your hand and said "you're welcome" and that he would do it again in a heartbeat if asked.
He actually just received a medal from France a few months ago. Forgive me, but I'm drawing a blank on the name of the medal, but anyway, it's the highest honor the nation of France gives to soldiers of foreign militaries.
It was really great to see him honored over 70 years later. It was a special day I'll never forget. He was a great man, I'm proud to be one of his.
