These stops provide a human perspective on the conflict, highlighting the individual acts of courage and the tactical ingenuity that defined the American experience in Normandy.

This experience is designed for history enthusiasts who wish to walk the ground where these monumental events occurred, gaining a fuller appreciation for the resilience and determination of the troops who fought to liberate Europe.
