Normandy, France

We made a quick stop to several of the World War II sites in Normandy, France. Above is the visitors center for the American Cemetery. The land has been given to the United States from France. It was very well done. A good impression on the states if someone hasn't been here.

A display of the flags of those countries that were involved.

The main memorial that is at the entrance to the cemetery. This overlooks the picture below.

Point Du Hoc. The initial place for the Americans entry into France on D-Day.
