Overlord D-Day Tour Part 1 of 2- German Battery, Omaha Beach, And Normandy American Cemetery

This first half of the second days tour takes us to some impressive sites in World War 2 history. I definitely missed Pierre as the tour guide, he really knocked the tour out of the park so to speak the day before. I would go back just to have his version of this tour with the details and stories I'm sure only he could tell, and through his details would allow one to really connect with history. Still made the best of the day. Standing there on Omaha Beach, the sheer size and distance from landing at low tide to making it to the dunes for cover, is just unfathomable. My eyes couldn't believe it. What D-Day must have been like for those that lived through it. True Hero's, mostly young boys, some barely 18, bullets whizzing by their heads, the bravery and courage displayed here must never be forgotten. The sacrifices they made for our freedom...standing there at Omaha Beach, back pressed against the rising tide, facing the cliffs off in the distance that held machine gun nests, trying to imagine running for your life to cover at the sand dunes... just left me speechless. It truly is a place you have to witness for yourself to grasp the scale of it all. I've been a lot of places in the world, and this is truly an experience i will always remember, and encourage others to experience. If you can make it here I highly recommend it, if that is not possible i hope in sharing my video it can help give you a glimpse into this part of history. Please enjoy and always remember.
