I went to Normandy last year.
You see a heck of a lot more US flags flying there than in many parts of the US.
That is an utterly disheartening statement.
yup- i was there in 2000 on my honeymoon...i drove from the American cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer to Point du Hoc and on the way i saw one of the biggest American flags i’ve ever witnessed from a private residence flying on a barn,....
I was there on June 7, 1994, D-Day + 50 years and a day, and there were a lot of US flags then but I thought it was just for the +50 year celebration. Glad to know it's more than just that.
P.S. You could still see the yellow streaks on the grass where Clinton had walked the day before.
I was in Normandy last fall with my wife. Our rental car broke down in St-Lo - actually i broke by hitting a curb in a SmartCar and blowing the tire (no spare in a smartcar by by the way.) We walked from the tire shop to the rental car shop and walked past the local McDonald’s. The windows were hand painted with a beach scene from the invasion - American soldiers, american flags all through the windows. And this was no where near the anniversary time. They do this all year long.
