Utah Beach . . .

 

I think one of the most moving places we visited on our tour was Utah Beach. It is a beautiful beach and area. It was hard to imagine how it looked on the D-Day Invasion. An odd feeling to have seen old war photos of the beach and see my son standing alone in the same place on a calm and sunny day.

Utah Beach was the code name for the right flank, or westernmost, of the Allied landing beaches during the D-Day invasion of Normandy, as part of Operation Overlord on 6 June 1944.
