huge craters from bombs. I'm actually not certain who made these craters though, which side.
Cado enjoyed running in and out of these huge craters.
Okay, so here's a good explanation. If you're as "nul" as I am, you may have to read it a few times to really understand it. Click download for it to be big enough to read.
“And the American raiders began to climb. They shot rope ladders over the face of these cliffs and began to pull themselves up. When one ranger fell, another would take his place. When one rope was cut, a ranger would grab another and begin his climb again. They climbed, shot back, and held their footing. Soon, one by one, the rangers pulled themselves over the top, and in seizing the firm land at the top of these cliffs, they began to seize back the continent of Europe.” President Reagan
these words are much more powerful when read at the site itself. It was a sobering and awesome experience to be here.
Cado wanted to understand this statue. We asked him if this man looked free or not. He said free, we said we think that's what its about.

This is at Point du Hoc where the artillery was taken out by the American soldiers. The moment we walked out onto these cliffs I was overcome with emotion. For a great film on all of this, see the movie with John Wayne, dangit I can't think of the name now, uhhh, The Longest Day?
