Awesome. Went to Normandy (and mont st Michel) 2 years ago

My grandfather was shot down in a glider plane on DDay (I believe it was early early in the morning) and my dad has done a shit ton of research on it. He was able to narrow down a general area of where the glider went down, and I found that general area. It was really awesome to be there.
