Today is the 70th anniversary of D-Day, the landing of the Allies in Normandy. The first time I visited this area, I was traveling with 12 highschool musicians. We took a tour of the battle fields and the American cemetery near Bayeau. Our guide expressed how the people in France still remember and give thanks for the Allies.

I have visited several of the American cemeteries; each as moving as the first. All those rows of crosses and stars. Each a young man who left behind family and friends to die fighting for freedom in a foreign country. Each time, I say a "Thank You" to them.
