Two years ago my wife and I took the 2 day tour in Normandy of all the sites. It is a trip every American should take if possible. The sight of American Flags flying in the town of Bayeux is breathtaking. I now watch the movie The Longest Day on the anniversary with a whole new perspective. It is amazing how many screw ups were made on both sides. I recommend the following book for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge on the subject.

Omaha Beach: D-Day, June 6, 1944
