Normandy (5/5)



A moving experience, Normandy humbles it’s visitors. Omaha and Utah beach, where the American’s landed on D-Day, June 6, 1944, still contains military relics, bomb craters, and German stronghold bunkers. The American Cemetery is as overwhelming as it is beautiful with over 9,000 graves overlooking the English Channel. We visited several museums, saw lots of military paraphernalia, listened to ‘40s music, and saw a movie of old new reel footage from the landing and subsequent deployment of military troops and equipment from this site once it was secured. TIME WILL NOT DIM THE GLORY OF THEIR DEEDS.
