I just got back from Europe myself. The last place I visited was the Normandy beaches, only missed the anniversary by a couple days. While we were visiting Omaha beach they were setting up for the big ceremony and some fighters flew in real low. I'm guessing they were practicing the formation or something for the ceremony.
There is something unreal about visiting those beaches and walking through the cemeteries. It was an incredibly moving experience for me.
I've said it before, but my recent trip instilled in me even further that there is no group of people we owe more to than those who fought, and continue to fight and die for the type of freedoms we take for granted every day.
