65 years later

Today is the 65th anniversary of D-day. I received a card two days ago from some friends in Courseulles-sur-Mer , Normandy reminding me that it is the anniversary of their liberation. I found some notes in a journal from 2003 about a woman in the town telling me about the arrival that morning in 1944 of 'aliens,' these machines that moved on water and land. During the eight months I was there I think I walked along Juno beach almost every day. The people gave me a wonderful welcome, told me some incredible stories of memories of the war, shared photos and objects from the war with me, and in some ways I feel like I lived part of the landing experience.
