Our trip to Normandy was a very introspective experience for me. It truly aligned me with the history of WW2 and sacrifices soldiers made. The vast number of graves really put into perspective how many lives were lost on the battlefield. And how death can affect beyond the grave, including families of those lost. I took some time to walk and reflect at the cemetery. I appreciated how the graves and structures were kept neat in respect to the lives lost. It was impressive to see the map of the battlefields and how much detail went into creating it. What I think I will remember most about this experience is this one image in my head I have of the view of the graves overlooking the ocean.
