Here are some photos I took while visiting Normandy for the 60th anniversary of D-Day in 2004:
This monument is on a random street corner in the French town of Caen, liberated by Canadian forces two months after D-Day. The inscription reads, "To the memory of the Canadian soldiers who died for the liberation of Caen in June and July, 1944."
Over 2800 Canadians are buried at this cemetery in Normandy:
"The land on which this cemetery stands is the gift of the French people for the perpetual resting place of the sailors, soldiers, and airmen who are honoured here."
An unknown soldier:
This monument on Juno Beach reads (in French and English), "Here on the 6th June 1944 Europe was liberated by the heroism of the Allied forces".
