This was our day at the beach in France, but not like you might think. This is Omaha Beach in Normandy where the famous WWII battle took place...right in these waters. Tyler is our WWII buff; this was his special place. On the hill high above the beach lies a plot of land, perfectly manicured and shining brighter than a new penny. This piece of land offers a view of the ocean which is absolutely magnificent and would certainly be a fine spot for a luxury hotel. Instead, it is an American cemetery, honoring the thousands of soldiers who lost their lives serving their country and the French people. The American flag flies in the center, and each half hour our national anthem is played over the speakers. If you didn't know better, you would think you were at home in America. After visiting churches and cathedrals all over Europe, Tyler says that this place was the most spiritual. I felt it too, and couldn't hold back the tears.
