link I saw a picture of this in the newspaper this morning. I found it quietly beautiful, and very contemplative, powerful and moving. I hope you don't mind, I just thought I'd share this. Cheers, and with much respect to the veterans and the memories of those who didn't get off the beach, Ace |

It is different I'll say that. It was all that was in today's local paper about D-Day… |

I found it insulting, especially that he included the Russians, who were not present to my knowledge, but left the British out. I might point out the Germans were busy trying to destroy the other helmets. Who pays these guys to have these "artistic" concepts? |

I do not think it insulting that he used Russian, or for that matter German helmets Shaggy. I think it was De Gaulle who said that war was a series of disasters that ended in victory. Just because it's on Omaha beach shouldn't mean that the dead of ALL nations aren't remembered. |
