I do hope to visit the beaches of Normandy one day and I would also like to visit the Vimy Memorial. Have you read "The Stone Carvers" by Jane Urquhart? It's about the building of the Vimy Memorial and life in the trenches. It's extremely well written.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747219456841194840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273529961191788075.post-57237114501199689842010-06-05T15:18:01.421-07:002010-06-05T15:18:01.421-07:00A wonderful post...What a lot of research and time...A wonderful post...What a lot of research and time you gave in linking all the wonderful links.

It is probably my favorite part of France. We toured the landing beaches with a Frenchman named Jean-Marc Bacon and though he was young, he was impassioned about the events of D-day. Probably a favorite memory is being at the American cemetary near Colleville-sur-mer and heaing the chimes play America the Beautiful at closing. We also love Bayeux and were thrilled to visit St. Mère église. Thank for you the post....it's wonderful to know that the French have not forgotten the sacrifices by so many.

He always had an interest in history and D-Day and spent 6 hours on a tour. He was very touched by the stories, the graveyards and tributes he saw.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273529961191788075.post-30578463709889518452010-06-04T10:09:39.284-07:002010-06-04T10:09:39.284-07:00i really want to get to normandy and pay my own re...i really want to get to normandy and pay my own respects. thank you for this tribute to tributes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530939502081143432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273529961191788075.post-60775400013018106262010-06-04T04:15:30.186-07:002010-06-04T04:15:30.186-07:00"Tribute" is a good T-word.

But I get all weepy and don't know what more to say.<br /><br />My father landed on Omaha Beach a little time after the first landing. He spent most of five years in the US army in Belgium, France and England until the war ended. He was in Belgium when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. That event became his ticket home.<br /><br />Daddy lived to be over 88 years old. And I think he always carried with him the thought that he was among the lucky ones. He told me once this. There were so many who never could go home. On all sides.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Anna<br /><br /><a href="http://annasadornments.blogspot.com/2010/06/t-is-for-tabby-tennis-tulip-and-time.html" rel="nofollow">Anna's Ts</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926688000745346961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273529961191788075.post-54011410817065494092010-06-04T01:54:25.141-07:002010-06-04T01:54:25.141-07:00Maggie, thanks for posting this.
