    Default Remembrance day - never forget

    The American war grave in Normandy this year.

    Taken on D-Day, on a cold, grey and very wet morning. The shot doesn't do the scale of gravestones here justice, they spread in all directions going into infinity, with precision alignment and are meticulously manicured. The graves are for the service men and women who fell on the beaches only and all graves face West - home.

    Steve:

    A solemn reminder of a terrible time. I hope we do remember, lest we repeat it yet again.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for posting this Steve, our present government does not seem to understand the significance of Normandy and other places like it. I would also like to thank our brave allies who fought in that terrible war.
