Dear SAMWolf,Thanks for the photo!I first visited St.Mere Eglise in Dec.1985.Being a student of WWII,going to Normandy was the fulfillment of a dream!!I remember making a rather gracious contribution to the church in exchange(so to speak)for purloining a prayer-book.I have it to this day.A week after I was in Normandy,I went to London to visit some buddies(prior to sailing back on QE2),and met a charming(and gorgeous)young Londoner whom I married!!!
