Day 3: Normandy
... over the beach; it was extremely moving. The memorial they have there is phenomenal. The next stop was Utah Beach, where grandpa landed two weeks after D-Day with the Signal Corps. Here, dad got to see for the first time where his father came ashore in WWII. It was incredible. We walked over the crest and saw the beach, walked down and touched the water. We even grabbed a couple seashells for keepsake, and -- get this -- ...

The cemetery was established by the U.S. First Army in June, 1944, and was the first American cemetery on European soil in WWII. The seemingly endless rows of white ...
The Beaches of Normandy Weekend: Part 1
... there was an old fashioned radio playing news stories, reports from the fronts, and speeches by world leaders during the war. There were old military uniforms on display, letters that were addressed to families back home from soldiers on the fronts, and antique military vehicles. It was really helpful that all of the captions next to the displays were in both English and French. I think what made me like the museum the most was that, as you walk through it, it was ...
