D-Day

Today is D-Day, the longest day for Allied Soldiers.  When visiting Normandy not too long ago, I was taken by the impossibility of success.  Looking at that hill that they had to climb in order to defeat the Germans looked insurmountable by itself.

Normandie

Many of our ancestors came from the Normandie region of France.  Today has been 66 years since the D-Day invasion freed France from the German invasion.  Many young men died that day, but I also wonder about the French who died at the hands of the Germans or perhaps died in the bombings meant to save them.
