The experience is a reminder that many men and women gave the ultimate sacrifice to maintain freedom for all future generations. Our guide, who is a military officer provided a unique understanding of the size, complexity and strategy of the invasion along with information for all areas we visited. The American Cemetery is beautiful and a great tribute to those who died there.
