D-Day

About this time every year I think about the day we spent at Normandy a few years ago. Since we retired, we have taken numerous trips to countries around the world and none compare with that day on the coast in France. When you stand above the cliffs and consider the obstacle they posed for the brave men who scaled them in the face of machine gun fire, you have to be completely awed. The German bunkers are still there and it is amazing they were ever breached. When you then go to the cemetery and view the sea of crosses, it brings history home as little else does. Everyone should make a trip there prominent on their "bucket" list.
