Thank you for posting this. I plan to get to Normandy in the next few years to see the real estate that our warriors paid for in blood.

One of my great concerns about the War on Terror is that if the islamic filth prevail, all those crosses on our hallowed ground will be desecrated. The thought is despicable.

Hey, when you finally get over there, don't forget to visit the World War I cemeteries as well. They tend to be obscured by Normandy and the other World War II sites.

You're quite welcome and I'm very happy that you've found the information to be helpful. 

One of my great concerns about the War on Terror is that if the islamic filth prevail, all those crosses on our hallowed ground will be desecrated. The thought is despicable.

I share your concern, and at the risk of turning this thread from a respectful and  informational one about the amazing sacrifices of our soldiers and of the necessity in honoring them into another France-bashing thread (and I have enthusiastically participated in several of those) I must confess that the first video in particular ("Coming Soon To Normandy") served as a dramatic reminder as to how much France has changed during the course of the past sixty-odd years.  Considering the current state of that once-great nation and how shabbily they have treated us over the past couple of decades in particular, I naturally wonder whether there would be any particular will on the part of our modern soldiers and their commanders to make a similar sacrifice again, should the need arise.

As to France's enthusiastic acceptance of Islamic encroachment and it's conscious capitulation to .the Saracen hordes, my hope is that we will not need to turn our overseas battlefield monuments into conspicuously armed and guarded fortresses, but I also hope that such a plan will be implemented if necessary.  We cannot allow our fallen soldiers to be dishonored.
