Well theres a quicker way to dig ground for a pool...Wow man, thats awesome. Im guessing your on Omaha Beach in that pic. If i went there, i would not enjoy the sights bu just think of what those men did on that fateful day...Brave, brave men

yes i was exactly the way you are there but i was happy to be there in the sense that it was a place i really wanted to go to! and it happened and trust me at the cemetry at omaha, i simply sat down beside a grave and huged it and said thanks and a prayer. If it were not for those men i would not be here right now.

Ferich 05-08-2003 03:02 AM

Fantasic Pictures. Was there any camping snipers? biggrin:

Wow, great pics. If you have anymore please post them. Some of us have never been there and would love to see your pics. It must be an awesome experience to stand on the same ground where the greatest battle of all time took place. God bless all those men who gave their lives for our freedom.

DDB101st 05-08-2003 05:40 AM

yes i will post more but right now its 6:25 am and im about to go to school so when i get home today i will post some more pics i have something like 200 all together and about 2 hours of film which is kinda hard to show.

the next batch will be up by tonight!

thnx, DD

P.S. In normandy if you ever go i suggest going to Point du Hoc, and you will understand why i call it a "moon scape" well that picture of me in the crater was taken there and i will show u another pic of a view down some of point du hoc and you will see what i mean via moon scape.

Bazooka_Joe 05-08-2003 09:28 AM

Very nice, man. Did you take any pics of the landing craft? I know theres a bunch of them all rusted up on the beach.
