Omaha a very spooky visit

[HJP]

So, me and two buddies fly to France for a week of fun and WW2 history.
We all share a common interest and it was a trip planned for a long time.

Here I am at Omaha beach.

[HJP]

So we walk and walk and walk through a sea of graves, over the wonderful paved footpaths admiring the perfection of the cemetery.
We walk for twenty minutes.
A P51 Mustang flies over with a sound that is just incredible

[HJP]

So many soldiers, so many situations , so many brave souls...

[HJP]

So, we are walking and walking and we decide to step on the green grass and read a name of a soldier after walking for twenty minutes

[HJP]

The first name on the first grave I read is this one.....


My name is Goodman

The spirits were playing with me.

Wow !!!! weird but cool ...............

It's a humbling experience to walk amongst those many graves and a remarkable coincidence that you should stop and read that particular headstone.
To echo Ben's sentiments, seeing the P51 must have been an awesome sight.

Thanks for that.

Thats very Cool, Lesters a real enigma.

I cant explain the sound of that P51, just incredible.
When we read this Headstone we all looked at each other as if we saw a ghost.

Will try and get some more pics up tonight.

Vimy ridge, Dieppe, and the beaches are a must visit.
