BIG DAY !!! … one of the main reasons for joining this cruise … up early and a lengthy bus ride to the Normandy Beaches … we had a splendid female guide … extremely knowledgeable and ability to share/provoke emotions as we traced/visited the ferocious battles of D-Day 1944. The thoughts, stories & emotions of each beach … Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno & Sword … will burn into your mind and heart. Every American should visit this spot where phenomenal achievements were made and world history occurred in such a short time period … each person that visits the battle scenes and the massive grave sites must deal with the experience individually … emotions are personal as you see, touch and recreate in you mind the pride we have for those that gave all for our freedom … … if you have not visited Normandy, you should !!! and have this experience … you will understand! The thoughts, stories & emotions of each beach … Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno & Sword … will burn into your mind and heart. Exhausted, we returned to the riverboat for drinks & dinner with friends (old & new) … then easy dancing to our boat’s keyboard player/singer.AmaLegro remained overnight in Rouen.

Sorry, but this medium simply does not do the job in getting the message and emotions involved in visiting the USA Cemetery … During the 76 days of the Battle of Normandy … 210,000 Allied troops killed 200,000 German troops killed 200,000 German troops captured … … … Please God, let us never forget the price of tyranny. Statue at the front of the cemetery. Lifting life and freedom to the heavens The reflecting pool and walk to the Chapel 9,000+ of our Soldiers rest here
