D-Day... How could I not talk of it today?
So many sacrifices to defend Freedom.

I've spent about 15 years in Normandy... and when we played as children on top of the cliffs or in the blockhaus, with extended view toward the sea... I wondered how frightening this could have been from the sea point of view. From the soldiers who arrived by boat (though the biggest part arrived on sand beaches).
This feeling I gotta say always makes me a bit sea-sick.

Here's a pic of the left cliff of my childhood. There are about 4 blockheaus there, but not visible on the photo.
The house is called "la cabournette". Many evenings in front of the sunset there, with parents playing guitar, we kids playing around. A *free* Normandy means also that for me. :)
