Normandy Beaches in France

We had three days in Normandy, this was special to me because I had two grandfathers in WWII, one went through the Normandy beach June 8. However everyone in 1944 felt the impact of WWII and paid a cost. We toured three museums, Utah and Omaha beaches, the American cemetery and the German cemetery.  I was proud of seeing the American flag not only flying at the sights, but in individuals homes. This experience doesn't leave a dry eye anywhere!
