Hi!

I have been last summer to Normandy.
Have seen Omaha beach, Juno Beach, ...
Have walked in St. Lo and Ouistreham.
Have visited the "Musée du débarquement".
Have been/visited the American War Cimetery at Colleville.

I have never been a "USA-fan" nor a "pro-US army"-guy.

But when I was at Colleville, in front of 10,000 white tombs, I have had a strange feeling. I can't describe it.

All I want to say is that I have a great respect for those soldiers.

Of course MOHAA is just a game, but behind it, there is a huge historical event.
It's not Quake, where a Red Goblin fire a protonic-plasma missile on a Yellow Orc-Warrior...
Behind MOHAA there are facts, real military operations, ... in a word : HISTORY

That's why I like Medal of Honor. Hope it will stay "historical" and accurate.
