Hi all,

 

Here are a couple of pics taken the day before Barack Obama paid a visit to Colleville

 

Sorry it’s a bit late but i wen into some hand trouble : i can now say that my wood door is fist punch proof ! (the fool injury as we call it in France :lol: )

 

The weather was nice, everybody working to have a nice ceremony

 

Many Gi were there, those “Boys next doors” were free to chat and were nice guys.

 

Some special moment that need a pic :

 

a Gi has put his name tag and dog tags on a relative grave

Thanks for posting these pictures for those of us who may not have ever had the opportunity to go to the American Cemetery at Normandy. Patton on the other hand looks a little portly...
