memorial, the C47 memorial and the ramains of a German prisoners camp.
The next stop is UTAH BEACH where General T. Roosevelt Jr. landed
along with General Gerow and the 4th US Division. After a review
there; you make the longer trek to the Omaha Sector and
LA POINTE DU HOC.
The concept of scaling 110 foot high sheer cliffs is incredulous; all
under German Fire! You continue further along the Omaha Secorot
and arrive onto the
OMAHA LANDING BEACH,
the bloodies land that the Americans had ever known. Overlooking the
sand, the
AMERICAN MILITARY CEMETERY,
beautifully kept, is the final hone to over nine thousand your men who
lost their lives in the Battle of Normandy. After some intense
relfection, you will drive to
LONGUES SUR MER,a
large German battery. From the German gun site, we can see appearing
in the haze the tremendous size of the Artificial Harbor of
ARROMANCHES;
our last stop. The harbor was built in eight months in England by the
British and then towed across the 100 miles of the Channel.
