    Sometimes a day without a camera is more meaningful.

    This was certainly a sobering experience for us last year as we walked the D-Day battlegrounds and remembered all the men who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I cannot imagine what those 18 and 19 year old “kids” thought as they landed and faced the might of Nazi Germany!!!! They were ( and continue to be ) “The Greatest Generation”.

    Thanks again for taking us. Such a special place. BTW, I really like your hat; looks so very French. See you in a week or so.

    Thank you Linda for your pictures and narrative of Normandy. I could feel the emotion in your words. We were there a couple of years ago and it was a very somber and moving day. It was good to revisit it there today with you.
    I agree, if you get a chance, go there.

    Your narrative is spot on. My first visit there was only 20 years after the invasion. Very moving.

    Linda thanks for the marvelous pictures. I have been to Normandy many times myself and to the cemetery and it always brings me to tears. So glad Paula and Tim could be there to experience it with you and Bernie.

    It was truly a moving experience. While we were there a family was laying flowers on the grave of a relative after a brief service. Then we were awed as we heard the Star Spangled Banner playing. The day certainly renewed our pride in our country and the service of those young men and women.

    Thank you for sharing your day—-certainly can cause a somber time of awe, reverence for life and reflection! Many unsung heroes is The Greatest Generation!
