Do you ever get that strange feeling inside when you hear about a disaster or the news or when you drive past a grave yard? Well that is the feeling I got when I visited the World War II Cemetery in Normandy. The graveyard is a memorial to all the American soldiers who died in Europe during World War II. The perfectly cut green grass with the white, clean, cross graves really is quite striking. One thing I noticed when walking around is you could feel the respect, not a whisper could be heard. You could have literally heard a pin drop, but perhaps that is because the whole experience really is quite breathtaking.

The fact that the cemetery is completely litter free also adds to the effect. How often are things spoilt by insensitive, uneducated morons who have to spoil and disrespect the world around us?

The whole experience really was quite touching. Rest in Peace.
