Pictures from my holiday in normandy August 2007

I must say I am incredibly jealous. If were more of a Civil War buff, I would be in hog heaven here on the east coast, but as a WWII buff there is not much here to see state-side. As a Marine I might get to Iwo Jima or some other Pacific battle sites (I have been to Okinawa), but I could spend months in Europe soaking in the more and the less traveled battle sites from both world wars. I guess its better not to have 2 devastating conflicts rage across one's soil in a generation, but as the descendants of that generation, you certainly have a wealth of history at your fingertips.

 

Take care,
