What else can you say besides it was one of the most moving experiences of my life. I can say emphatically that I am proud to be an American.
To walk the hallow grounds where blood was shed to walk along Omaha Beach and picture in your mind what transpired just over 65 years ago. To see a movie clip in the Visitor's Cente
r about Gene Sellers from Jonesboro, Arkansas about 15 miles from where I grew up who left the University of Arkansas where he was there to play football and enlist in the military and then die on D-Day is truly humbling. We don't know the meaning of the word sacrifice. God Bless America. The people in the Normandy area have not forgotten. As we drove through the village going to Omaha Beach the streets were lined with houses displaying the U.S. Flag. Let us not forget. I truly believe that Normandy is a place that every American should visit. Words can't describe.
Back in Paris area now. I will catch up hopefully tomorrow night. Looking forward to 2 great services tomorrow.
