If you haven't traveled to Normandy, Brittany, Bastogne et al it is worth the trip.

I second that.  In 2018 I went to Normandy on a tour organized by the National World War II Museum based in New Orleans.  The American Cemetery is hallowed ground.  And visiting the beaches and inland terrain gives a real appreciation of the magnitude of the accomplishment by the Allied forces.  I'm returning on a tour called Band of Brothers this fall and look forward to visiting Bastogne as well.

In the Spring of 2018, Jim Harbaugh took the Michigan football team to Normandy.  I met him at a Michigan event that Fall and asked him about the impact on the players.  He told us that the players found it really sobering to realize that many in the invasion force who went ashore that day and now rest in the American Cemetery were 18 to 23 years old.
