Heart wrenching. I just came back from Normandy where I did the D-Day tour. Incredible that anyone ever made it off of Omaha based on the German gun positions. Not a single place to find shelter from 600 yards out at low tide. The American cemetery you see in pictures is sobering. 9000 graves in one place, and that is just a minuscule number of the total. Now I know why the greatest generation over-indulged their kids who became the flower children. Who could blame them after what they experienced across Europe.
