History became real and fasinating - I am not a history buff but our tour guide was so passionate and the information so detailed I couldn't help but be deeply engrossed in every thing he said. It was a hard day because we learned detailed information and saw pictures of the soldiers that lived and those that died under intense fighting conditions but that made me even more proud of our US military and Allied Forces (Canada and UK) who fought on the Normandy beaches. The Omaha Sector of the beach was a pivotal turning point in us winning the war against Nazi Germany so I highly recommend every adult take a tour so you can learn so much about how these brave men helped changed our world by beating the Germans under Hitler's rule.
