Last spring, I was able to visit several sites in Normandy, including Juno Beach and the Canadian cemetery Beny-sur-Mer, and Belgium (Vimy Ridge, the Menin Gate and Passchendaele).
Each place was incredible in so many ways. To be at the Vimy Memorial is so humbling and uplifting. Juno Beach was the same. Being at those places makes you wish all Canadians would visit them and see where our country played such a big role in world history.
