Normandy 3

Onward

The old churches are repositories also of war memories.



This one commemorates the landing of a parachutist on the church tower. “He survived.”






And the poppies call to mind the ones who didn’t. 



All the area shops commemorate the events of the wars. And some, like this, call for peace. 





The graves call for remembrance. This one is from the First Great Tragedy. 


This is from Afghanistan, three young men, KIA. So sad. 





What these beaches saw…..
