Thank you for your ...Dear Rachel, Dawne and Alice,<br /><br />Thank you for your comments... especially on this post as I was nervous to share it. But the experience with Jean-Marie was so moving for my two daughters and I, and my experience at Omahama beach just the week before so powerful - I felt as though Jena-Marie had been sent as if to say "Write it, share it... it's important." and for me, it was. I'm gald it was for you too. All the best, MzAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841301701690518002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712612109397687776.post-4513558426541521502012-05-28T03:37:05.746+02:002012-05-28T03:37:05.746+02:00Thanks for your eye witness and review of the hist...Thanks for your eye witness and review of the history facts from your recent visit to Normandy. Your photos were the right fit with your thoughts. When I was growing up my dad, a former Marine, would make sure to attend a Memorial Day service and I would go along. It is easy to think that Memorial Day weekend is just the start to summer here in the US. Merci to Jean Marie! And the D-Day Anniversary is coming up, too in 10 days. God bless all the military families!Alicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712612109397687776.post-71743899089976522832012-05-27T19:29:59.005+02:002012-05-27T19:29:59.005+02:00What a wonderful post!

Would that all Frenchmen thought of us in that way! Also loved hearing about Bayeux, as we are headed there again this summer.<br />Thanks for this, Marie!Dawne Polishttp://frenchatheart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712612109397687776.post-88643770177638362492012-05-27T11:34:22.227+02:002012-05-27T11:34:22.227+02:00Thank you for such a thoughtful and moving post. ...Thank you for such a thoughtful and moving post. I am a US citizen and live in the UK. I once accompanied a group of World War I veterans on a trip back to France to visit the battlefields. This happened during the 60th Anniversary of Armistice Day. It was a privilege to accompany them. Lots of Americans never travel outside their own country and until they do I think their view of the world is skewed.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10219805596770405058noreply@blogger.com
