We'll Start the War From Here. Utah Beach & Pointe Du Hoc

There is too much to say about what happened at places like St. Mere Eglise, Juno, Omaha, Sword, Gold, Utah, Bayeaux, Carentan, Bréville, Pointe Du Hoc, Pegasus Bridge, St. Lo, so I will post a few pictures with small captions.

The story of Lt. Col James Rudder's 2nd Ranger Battalion at Pointe Du Hoc is something every American should remember when they think they are having a tough day.

The large craters from the naval bombardment are still between ten and fifteen feet deep.
