Unfortunately, I wasn't there in June 04 (I was there in Oct 04). Met a lot of veterans there and even guys who jumped into Normandy with the 101st and 82nd. (I was an Airborne trooper in the Army).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, what an awesome place. As a retired Army veteran it was the best place I've ever been, and I've been to a lot of countries and touristy spots.<BR/><BR/>I managed to bring back some sand and rocks from the beaches. It was the most moving experience being there. St. Mere Eglise, Pointe du Hoc, Pegasus Bridge, etc, etc, etc<BR/><BR/>D-Day is still used today in military operations. Additionally, H-Hour was used as well.<BR/><BR/>Operations Overlord was the main operation. There were many, many other operations that supported it and were "subordinate" to it. For example Operation Fortitude was the deception operation the Allies set up with Patton "in charge of." It deceived the Nazis into believing there were many more allied troops then there were and that the location of the attack would be further north. <BR/><BR/>Great bits of information though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-62053260811745995682007-06-07T13:45:00.000-04:002007-06-07T13:45:00.000-04:00This was a great post, since this is a day that is...This was a great post, since this is a day that is so easily forgotten.Sparky Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10599649584020982942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-31329797662273523082007-06-07T06:27:00.000-04:002007-06-07T06:27:00.000-04:00Thanks for some a great review of history lessons....Thanks for some a great review of history lessons.
