I was at the 50th anniversary of D Day and was an amazing experience to see and speak with so many veterans.

Going to see it today.
Wife and I went to Normandy 1 year ago. I really think that IF you can afford it, Americans should make the trip over there to see the beaches and talk to the locals. The American Cemetery is a very sobering experience.

Just got back, only person in the theater. It was OK. Co-written by a Brit and the Australian director, so you think they might ease up on the Monty pompous/arrogance personality a bit, but they did not. He came across as much as a dick as ever. I don't know much about Ike, he's usually portrayed as somewhat soft-spoken and a peacemaker between all the different Allies; that was NOT how he came across. I did get choked up a bit when they showed DDay. Film also mentioned the dry run (Exercise Tiger) that I didn't know about.
Tiger was covered up because of how big of a clusterfuck it was.
This account remains excellent.
