Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Thanks for the reminder, and a thank you to those who offered there lives that we might be free.

So true Tp, and we have a few incompident "leaders" around the world who could take us there.
Having not been in that situation I have nothing but total admiration for the Men and Women who put there lives on the line for our freedom, we owe them.
Thanks for for input

Beautiful photos. Too beautiful a place to have been the scene of such tradgedy and devistation.

These are great shots, thank you for sharing them. My wife and I are going to Normandy in August - our first trip. Her Dad jumped in the night before the invasion, with the 101st, so we are very anxious to see the area.

Thank you for these pictures and the narrative. I had hoped to be in Normandy for the 60th anniversary but 'stuff' happened and I won't make it. I'm still going to come over there but not this year.

Nice set but kind of creepy from my point of view. My dad was there. He got blown out of his landing craft. He was only 19 at the time in the infantry. Even though I was in the service, I can't fathom it. I asked him if he was ever curious and wanted to go back and look at things. His reply was, "Not in your lifetime!!!".

Nice photos. What's happened in the intervening 10 years since the 60th anniversary and what's the plans for this years 70th?
