What I really find astounding is how the music plays a big role in the video. When played ...

... without sound, it has an entirely different effect. Interesting. Still, pretty cool.

One of the guys in the Memorial Band comes to our dog park I talked with him the day before he left and later when he came back........The French and British people really celebrate that day with great respect our fallen vets.

Ed (and Steve). What a great, moving video. I had the opportunity to visit

Normandy back in June of 2001. We spent 4 or 5 hours just roaming. One of the most meaningful afternoons I have ever spent in my life.

When you are there, standing in the American Cemetery, you can't help but get choked up. It's a beautiful place and I wish every American could visit and experience it just once.
