    This was a memorable display and explanation of the Normandy battle. I, also, am proud to be an American. Thank you so much for all the beautiful pictures you shared. You are truly gifted. I wish I had been able to see all of this.

    What a wonderful job you have done with words and photos to describe Normandy and all it represents. This trip will be forever etched in your family’s collective memories.

      Thanks, Cindi, for your kind words. You’re my early riser and the first to read the blog in the US.

    I agree with everything that has been said, the pics were amazing and your words, as usual, very much on target. Certainly, this will be a day that Chris and his family will never forget. What a magnificent memorial to “the Greatest Generation”. Thanks for taking us along..

    Mostly definitely something I would like to see one day. Very moving. Fantastic memory for y’all…just think when the kids learn about that in school they can say “I saw the indentations into the earth from those bombs and walked the field of race men who fought the battle.” Wow, just wow.

    Thank you so much for sharing these incredible pictures. I know photos can never capture the experience of physical presence, however the photos are remarkable.
