The Cemetary

So after we had looked inside, (Richard could have spent all day in there but we didn't have a ton of time) we headed outside to the actual cemetery. The first thing you see is the beautiful beach. It makes it hard to imagine the horizon filled with ships and men storming the beaches huh?





Us with the beach in the background.



They also had this map thing to show the different beaches and who landed where. It was to big to get into one picture so here is three.







This is a memorial to fallen soldiers that is at the front of the cemetery





On the sides there was a bunch of information on the walls. Also behind this memorial there is a wall with all the names of the men that were lost who's burial place is unknown.















Here is the view of the cemetery from the memorial



And here is a view of the crosses





Up next La Pointe du Hoc
