I've been there. There is a tremendous amount of respect and reverence for the Allied countries and their fallen in that area. Regardless of what these men died for, their continued care-taking of this cemetery is amazing.
We were there for the 75th Anniversary of D-Day and it was one of the most powerful experiences of my life. Went all the way down the Normandy Coast from Utah Beach to Pegasus Bridge. Overwhelmed to say the least.
I urge everyone who has the chance to go visit and see what we've read about our entire lives and to say thank you to all of the souls buried there
