Warst du in Frankreich oder in Florida? Omaha Beach gibt es 2 mal. Und irgendwie krieg ich nicht raus, wo dies objekt steht. Oder steht es in Frankreich und Florida?
Schau mal
We walked the beaches, which are really not much different than, say, the sands of Flagler Beach but for the coquina shells here. You see the same sort of dunes, the same sort of hugging proximity of homes right up to the shore, you hear the same sound of indifferent waves knocking against a shore more relevant to sunbathers than to homage-seekers, except for the giant monument to the American soldiers called Les Braves, or “The Braves,” a set of shard-looking metal wings planted in the surf and curving toward the sky in three groups that represent the wings of hope, the rise of freedom and the wings of fraternity. Close to 2,500 American soldiers were killed on the first day of the invasion at Omaha, the bloodiest by far of the five landing beaches. I’m not going to say that you can feel their spirit there on those five miles of beach. But you can certainly feel the peace they gave us, the longest-enduring peace Europe has ever known since it was a backwoods of boars and boring forests. LG Tina
