Wow! That must have been an amazing gathering. I envy you both.
Such an unbelievable tribute to the D Day participants!
I would like to do this journey one day. I imagine there would be a permanent lump in my throat for the duration.
My family & I will be present at Pearl Harbour this year on the aniversary of the Japanese attack, Dec 7th, 1941. That should be quite a moving gathering as well. They recently disbanded the Pearl Harbour Survivors Association, due to lack of surviving members. I have a photo of a floral wreath placed on the Arizona memorial from that association in 2010. I wont see another one this year.
While I think of it. where the hell did the LC come from, that was in one of the Normandy photos in my earlier post?
I have a photo of my Fathers comrades coming off something I think is very similar if not identical, but in the pacific theatre.
to you both!
