Normandy, France. July 5-8.

We visited the D-Day beaches in Normandy, France. This sculpture on Omaha Beach has three parts; one part stands for the birth of hope, the middle stands for the birth of liberty, and the final part stands for brotherhood.

 

Kate stares at the drops of rain in the reflecting pool at the American cemetery in Normandy. Seeing children with all the graves of the boys and men that fought for our country in the background makes me feel both sad and hopeful...these soldiers died so that children, like my own, could be free.
