On this #MemorialDay I love to share this video.
French caretakers take the sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy and scrub them into the letters to give them the brown/gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

The sound on makes this more fulfilling.
Thank you for all the likes of sharing of this video. I post this every Memorial Day and Veterans Day in not just a tip of our caps to our soldiers, but also to educate many on a little known gem and pass on kindness.
This is what my Twitter feed is all about. Peace to all.

Of the 9,386 soldiers buried at this cemetery in Normandy, only 4 are women.
Three were members of the first all-female, all-African-American battalion to serve overseas.
