Remembering D-Day
After visiting the coast of Normandy and touring the beaches last month, I have a renewed appreciation for the undertaking of June 6, 1944. There was lots to learn about Operation Overlord while we were there. And I feel I only scratched the surface. Many monuments along the road from WWI & WWII.
It was very moving to see the last of the Mulberry Harbor. And incredibly heavy visiting the American Cemetery in low clouds and rain. God bless the men who sacrificed themselves for the victory in second World War. Here are a few snaps from our drive around Omaha and Gold beaches. I will post details tonight.

Road signs along the Normandy Coast.
Omaha Beach from the American Cemetery.
The ceiling of the chapel at the American Cemetery.
A sculpted table-top displaying Operation Overlord's landing sites.
Me at Omaha Beach.
Patty and the statue for the American Spirit.
Long view of the cemetery.
Vintage heavy armored vehicle in front of the American Museum.
