I have been to Normandy on June 6th a few years ago. The French in this are or France do honor and respect all those who served and more. I was personally thanked by locals right on the edge of Omaha beach.
I also visited on the 60th. The Normans truly appreciate Americans. Very powerful. The meek gentleman that we called uncle Jim landed on Omaha Beach on June 6. Never a word spoken of it.
