I was fortunate to participate in a week-long Military Battlefield Tour of the Normandy area about 15 years ago. Being a Duty event, we all researched the whole subject and
each member presented a detailed review of specific action at a location visited in the itinerary. These on-the-spot presentations added considerable depth to the whole
tour, with most days having different morning and afternoon main subjects/locations. As with most teaching/instructional tasks, the need to have your information perfectly
prepared was very strong, particularly as we were all well trained in the Pose, Pause,.. Pounce technique of checking understanding!
Overall, a fabulous week, a serious subject!
For those on a less intense tour, Normandy is well worth a visit, but it will enhance your experience to have a good personal update of the whole thing before you go.
