Pictures 4


Ellwood, D-Day tour guide extraordinaire, and I on Omaha Beach. Omaha Beach was one of two American landing sectors on D-Day, the other being Utah Beach. Losses were devastatingly high here for American troops, as portrayed in Saving Private Ryan (Normandy, France)


Pointe du Hoc. Army Rangers climbed the 100ft cliffs behind me to capture a battery of 6 artillery guns (Normandy, France)

Here, I'm on the Arc de Triumphe, with the Eiffel Tower behind me (Paris, France)
