[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1918014, member: 63925"] I had the honor (my words) to be in Normandy on the 50th anniversary just due to a business trip that took me to a French town not to far away. I wish everyone could stand on the beach and look up at the concrete bunkers on the hills above and wonder "how the heck did they do this?" and realize how many Americans died where I stood. I was very emotional standing there and didn't care how I looked. I also sat on the bench in the cemetery above the beaches where there are thousands of white crosses and cried my eyes out. I was able to bring back some real interesting mementos that were for the 50th Anniversary which I look through once in while. Best one is a coffee table style book that is filled with historical photos, documentaries etc which are unique in themselves. While I was there, there was a terrible reminder of the war when a local farmer hit an unexploded bomb in his field while plowing. [/QUOTE]
