Three weeks ago I had the privilege to spend
time in Normandy, France and witness one of the most moving moments of my
life.
It was my first visit to one of the most
hallowed places on earth. What I will remember most, is one of last
things I saw.
Leaving the Normandy Beach Memorial
Museum,
I discovered a single display that needs no
words to describe
the loss and love of one country to another.
I snapped this photo as a young French
student was sharing this moment with a friend.
I will always wonder what she was ''saying'' as
she emailed the picture she had just
taken. There is no doubt in my mind, it was
profound and moving.
You see, I've learned that in these far away
lands, they not only appreciate their freedom....
they remember why they are free and are teaching
their children who gave them that freedom.
