Many more, I'll try and post on a google drive file or Flikr. In one of the photos I'm standing in front of a piece of the Mulberrys.

Been fortunate enough to go to Normandy a few times. First time was for the 50th Anniversary. The 2nd time was in 2011 when the wife and I decided to road trip it to all the sites. Stopped in Verdun first on the way up to Normandy.
Been fortunate enough to have been many years ago but need to go back soon,
Good shots!

That's one place on my bucket list.
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.
