Heroes of Normandy | Journey to Paris

[@mfcobb1]

It hits me hard every time I see all those crosses. My Uncle Jim was first wave Omaha Beach. Only two of his Company survived. He always joked he couldn't stand that other Son of a Bitch, but we meet every year for a beer. I'm so proud to have grown up with my five Great Uncles that fought and survived WW2. Also neighbors, school teachers, coaches, and local Law Enforcement. The damn dirty Hippies have ruined this Country!

Of course! Peonies grow in France too! Rest in Eternal Peace to these men!

Like all other overseas American cemeteries in France for World War I and II, the French Government has granted the United States a special concession to the land occupied by the cemetery, for an unlimited duration, free of any charge or any tax, as long as the United States maintains the cemetery. It does not benefit from extraterritoriality and remains the property of the French State. This cemetery is managed by the American Battle Monuments Commission, a small independent agency of the U.S. federal government, under Congressional acts that provide yearly financial support for maintaining them, with most military and civil personnel employed abroad. The U.S. flag flies over these granted soils.

Slavă tuturor eroilor care au murit pentru libertate și au contribuit la căderea dictaturii naziste! Dumnezeu să-i odihnească în pace! Veșnica lor pomenire i-ar Dumnezeu să-i treacă sufletele în rândul celor drepți! I-ar noi să nu îi uităm și să îi pomenim! Cu stimă și respect
