Opinion: Remembering the fallen heroes of Normandy's sacred bluffs
Briefly

Part of the power lies in the simplicity and sameness of the rows of white crosses and Stars of David at the US military cemetery in Normandy, where 9,388 Americans who lost their lives in the Allied invasion are buried.
The soldiers buried in Normandy fought and won the battle against evil because they knew the difference between right and wrong, not wanting to live in a world where wrong prevailed.
Families chose for the fallen soldiers to rest together in Normandy where they fought, reflecting a personal debt to those who sacrificed for strangers in a foreign land, far from home.
