Normandy was some place that we have wanted to go for a very long time. It is so hard to imagine what happened there on D-day and yet so important to never forget. I felt a a pit in my stomach just being there and seeing it with my own eyes. We were able to pay our respects and also to remind ourselves of how very fortunate we are thanks to the ultimate sacrifice of those before us.

| The little Villages were changed forever |
 |
| 2400 Americans lost on this beach alone on D-day. Today, the water and beach seemed so calm and still. |
 |
| These Men sacrificed their lives..."to preserve freedom, systems of self-government" - so important to remember History and learn from it! |
 |
| The American Cemetery - 9,387 Americans rest in peace here - they never made it home. |

| The air traffic in the sky amazed me - so many planes going so many places |
