Strangest you've seen

[centermass]

Doesn't fit the "strangest" category - but still a cool view...

OK...it's cool and all...granted...but why does it look like a penis?

It represents not only the spearhead of the invasion, but the knives (sic daggers) that were used by Rangers in and during their assault of the cliffs.

I participated in a ceremony there June 6th, 1990.

After which, I went and visited the American Cemetary at St. Laurent by Omaha Beach.

It was stunningly beautiful, peaceful and serene, but at the same time, one of the most humbling moments I had experienced up until that time.

I teared up gazing upon all the honor that lay before me representing the price of freedom over there, and the blood shed on that soil.

I wasn't the only one.

Agree. The four day weekend my family and I spent in Normandy remains one of my favorite trips during the seven years I spent in Europe!

Sorry for the hijack SB...

I spent two week there in 1984 for the 50th Anniversary. We spent a week rehearsing the climb and a week screwing around afterwards. I had the opportunity to sit at base of the cliffs for four hours, with the English Channel lapping our our feet, and talk to the original RANGERs who made the climb in 1944. That was the fastest four hours of my life and I will never forget that time. We allowed them to climb up first and we followed at the ceremony for Pres. Reagan and the Frog President.

Because it's in France...


Was there in '99. Best vacation/trip I've ever had. CM - you're right about Omaha Beach and the cemetary. Old Guy - awesome story.

We watched that on TV at 1276N(B/1-75) and thought you SF pukes moved to fucking slow!
We were very jealous, would have gave the left one to be there.
It must have been great.
