Volunteers etched figures into the sand to commemorate the fallen. Touching photos and interesting background explanation of the project.

Very poignant...
Can you imagine the size of the beach that would be needed to do this very same thing for Gettysburg? 51,112... I visited this battlefield just two days ago. You can feel a growing "weight" of it as you work your way around and read the plaques.
Some day I hope to visit and pay respects in Normandy. Thank you.

And earned the gratitude of your country.
Sadly, many soldiers never left Normandy.
