The Orange King delayed the beginning of ceremonies commemorating
the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion at the WWII cemetery near the Normandy
beaches so he could be interviewed by his Foxy friend.
The Orange King used this solemn site (close to 10,000
Americans are buried here) to call war hero and former special counsel Robert
Mueller a “fool”, Senate Minority leader Schumer a “jerk” and Nancy Pelosi a “disaster” .
In 2013, my husband and I and our daughter Joan and
granddaughter Miriam had the privilege and honor of visiting the Normandy
beaches (courtesy of a Uniworld cruise in France). History became alive as we walked
on some of the five beaches, looked at the cliffs behind us with bomb craters
and remains of German bunkers. Later we visited the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, on a bluff above Omaha Beach. Uniworld offered cruise guests fresh flowers
to place on graves – to honor and thank those who died. It was one of the most
moving, somber days in my life.
Here are some photos I took of our visit: Two views of the American Cemetery; views of "Les Braves", large steel sculpture on Omaha Beach, created by French artist Anilore Banon, commissioned by the French government, to commemorate the Normandy D-Day landings.
The stone sculpture states: THE ALLIES FORCES LANDING ON THIS SHORE WHICH THEY CALL OMAHA BEACH LIBERATE EUROPE JUNE 6th 1994.
