Notes: Our 2019 tour of France coincided with the 75th Anniversary of D-Day. Our trip was a week after the June 6th commemoration and part of our tour took Gigi and I to the American cemetery overlooking the Normandy beaches. Over 9,000 Americans are buried there. Everything about our visit was moving and poignant especially when an elderly French woman asked if I was an American then shook my hand and thanked me. I thought of my WWII veteran Dad and Father-in-Law. Each of us was given a rose by our tour guide to place beside a gravestone. I strolled among the rows of Crosses and Stars of David, looking for a Marylander. Finding a few, I searched the internet and read their stories. Just boys, such courage. It was near closing time and we began to leave when Taps was played as the American Flag was lowered. We paused, came to attention and covered our hearts with our hand. There were no dry eyes.
