Omaha, Nebraska
As They Would Have Hoped 6 June 1944 to 21 February 2007
This is a picture I took on 21 February 2007 on Omaha Beach just under the infamous German bunker WN62. The men who rest silently on the plateau above must be proud that one of the bloodiest battlefields of World War II is now the playground of French parents and children. Note the little boy running through the ditch with nothing more on his mind than catching his brother. How many American soldiers died in that ditch? All I can say is that this picture is as they would have hoped.
