Just got back from visiting Normandy and the cemetary at St. Laurent—Omaha Beach. It was a sobering experience. I am glad I did not see if commercialized like so many other memorials.
One thing I find very sad is that many of the graves have no names. The cross says, “His name is only known to God.”
God Bless our brave soldiers who are laid to rest there. If you ever have a chance to go, I highly recommend it.
My Dad was in D-Day plus 8, but he saw action in the Battle of the Bulge and the battle of St. Lo that is in Private Ryan.
I hope to finally make it there this year.
