american war cemetary, normandy, france

the home of many allied soldiers who died during the d-day campaign, this place is hallowed ground for many us americans.  however, don't forget that canadians and others were also involved in the d-day campaign.  it was raining on the day we visited, which made the mood even more sombre.  the museum attached to the cemetary tells you about key war graves, including the graves of the brothers that ultimately were the subject of saving private ryan.
