When we visited the American Military Cemetery at St Laurent sur Mer it was the school holidays for the French. We were very pleased to see so many French families on the day we were there; the adults explaining to the children what had happened and why. The French people we have met have all been very grateful to the Allies for what they did during WWII. There are markers across the country side in Normandy as reminders of the Battle of Normandy, which lasted much longer than just the D-Day invasion.
