The first clue we had that this was the planned drop zone during D-Day, was the discovery of a monument to the US paratroopers. It was essentially in the middle of no-where. A field, 3 kilometers from the center of the town. No buildings around it. Just a memorial.
It was cordoned off for a ceremony so we couldn't get closer.
But, it was wonderful to stand there and know that what happened 74 years ago was still remembered and appreciated.

These three US soldiers were present to take part in the memorial service. I had a chance to visit with each of them. It was an honor to visit with them. And, I felt nothing but pride that they were there. They did a wonderful job representing the US. My sincere thanks gentlemen.
