Been a couple of days in Normandy during our road trip,knowing what your going to see,even then your just not expect the feeling that you get. Totally different then a regular cemetery Standing there,the weight on your shoulders,it makes you really humble. Teaching the next generation,that these souls pay the biggest price for our freedom.
Yes they still do ,and in my opinion its something we should do,we own our freedom to these young souls. It was indeed a wonderful trip,not all is in Normandy but it was a stop that I needed to make. Hope everything is alright ,how is it with the virus over there? Atb Steve
Really well done. I love the music you've set this too, very reverent and thoughtful. I would love to visit these places some day in person. You've captured the beauty and somberness beautifully. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words unfortunatly this part has a big history about the war,but ofcourse there other things to visit as well. If you ever visit these places,let me know Your friend Steve
An excellent video about your road trip in France. I would love to visit there. It is hard to imaging so many crosses there. Full view and like. Thank you for sharing my friend.
I was there in 1995. The weight felt on my heart was intense. You did an amazing job through film, music, and editing of conveying all the emotion and the history of the region. How you intertwined the battle images of the tapestry with the monuments of less ancient, but still brutal, examples of mankind's ability to be horrid to each other strikes home.
Thank you for your kind words my friend,I really struggled with these video's to be honest. Being actually there,is totally different then reading about it or seeing a picture. It makes you really humble to see all those souls laying in front of you. Knowing it was for our freedom,it is our obligation to teach the next generations . I spend a few days in Normandy,and I needed to visit it,just to say thank you. Unfortunately history repeat itself,the tapestry is a example what happened in 1066
Thank you Terry,you just not expect the feeling that you get. Totally different then a regular cemetery Standing there,the weight on your shoulders,i can confirm it makes you really humble . Teaching the next generation,that these souls paying the biggest price for our freedom. God Bless you to my friend
Mooi Steve heel mooi in beeld gebracht. Ik heb niets met de kerk maar ik sta wel versteld van de schoonheid en de bouwkunst er van. Een militair kerkhof maakt mij altijd heel somber, al die jonge levens die vroegtijdig aan hun einde zijn gekomen. Ben wel eens in Margraten wezen kijken ik kreeg er de rillingen😢 van toen ik al die kruisjes zag. Ben er nooit meer geweest. Daar zou iedere schoolklas eens een bezoek moeten brengen. Groetjes Hans
Ik begrijp je volkomen Hans,volgens mij kan niemand ontkennen,zelfs als je totaal geen voeling hebt met het geloof,wat ik goed begrijp. Dat je toch uit je schoenen kunt geslagen worden van de pracht en praal en het majestueuze gebouw dat destijds werd gebouwd,zeker als je weet dat de dag van vandaag het bijna niet meer mogelijk is om bv een kelder water dicht te krijgen,met alle moderne apparatuur en technologie die we nu hebben. Het is inderdaad heel somber al die kruisjes,ik wilde in Normandië zeker de begraafplaatsen bezoeken,het was iets dat ik moest doen,en met de dochter zodat ze toch ziet dat er ook een andere tijd is geweest. Groetjes Steve
Thats a great trip Steve. I'm from Canada and my wife and sister and brother in law made Bayeux one of our stops. I had an Uncle killed at the falaise gap a few weeks after the D Day landing.
Sorry to hear about your loss my friend,is your uncle buried in Normandy? The falaise trap was some heavy fighting going on back then Totally different feeling then a regular cemetery when your there Teaching the next generation,that these souls paying the biggest price for our freedom. It sure makes you very humble. Steve
@@sosteve9113 Check out my channel, I have a video posted of the cemetery he is in. He was with the Scottish Essex. When they were gojng in the Saskatchewan rifles were running out. Turned out that the Canadians didn't know the S.S. decided to make a stand there they were slaughtered. I don't think he was in France more then a few weeks.
