Pointe du hoc, omaha beach, and points in between



Mere words can not express the raw emotions I felt on the day we visited Pointe du Hoc, 
Arromanches-le-Bains, Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery in Normandy, and points between.  Somehow the cold blustery day was befitting the solemnity of the visit.

  1. how somber. We made a quick top to "a" beach, but I don't remember the us water craft there. We were behind schedule for some reason, and on a real time crunch as we were passing through that area.
    beautiful pictures Peggy.
