Hello Sarge!
I am enjoying your photos. How long ago has it been since you visited Normandy? It's strange now, but I cannot even look at that tranquil looking beach scene without thinking of the opening sequence of Saving Pvt. Ryan, where the GI's were being raked by MG38's and MG42's as well as mortars and artillary. One memorable comment I heard from a veteran of the 29th Div. was..."Nobody took a step back...Every man that fell was facing forward, towards Germany."
