E. Street on Omaha Beach

The sand is hard to walk on, the hill is steep, these soldiers that lay in the graves deserve a massive amount of respect. Omaha beach is by far one of the bloodiest battles of Normandy, which I easily understandable. The soldiers had to wade through chest deep water and then run through the sand that essentially sucks your foot in. Then they had to climb up that hill that makes your feet hurt just looking at it. They had nothing to hide behind either, it would have been absolute hell. I don't think the majority of people on this earth could comprehend the fear that those soldiers felt on that fateful morning. Now we walk along the graves that stand row upon row. Is it strange that I think this is re most gorgeous cemetery I have ever seen? Maybe yes, but the crosses and Stars of David were made out of a beautiful stone thy looked like it was carved out of the earth into those shapes yesterday. These soldiers that lay beneath our feet in the earth could embrace deserved the best.
