Btw, for those interested, here's the link to our BnB:
Finnhus BnB on Omaha
I can't tell you how cool and humbling it was to stay this close to a momentous piece of history. If anyone takes a Normandy trip, I suggest you look at the availability here.

American cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach. If there is one government or government sponsored program that actually fulfills it's mission in an exceptional manner, it is the American Battlefield Monuments Commission. We visited this one and two of the WWI cemeteries - the one at Belleau Wood (Aisne-Marne cemetery) and the Meuse-Argonne American cemetery. The grounds were immaculate.
The cemetery grounds
For the LSU fans, a Louisiana kid who gave all.

Thank you for sharing OP. When I was 15 I made it to France, but not quite all the way to Normandy. I did get to see one of the other WWII American cemeteries and man that was a humbling experience even as a carefree teenager. I'd highly recommend for anyone traveling abroad to go experience these sites. It really gave me a new perspective on life knowing that some of the men in those graves were only 3 years older than I was at the time.
