You only have to stand in one of the many cemeteries to feel the sacrifice made.
Its all too easy to say "only" xxxx men died on the beaches, as it was a lot lower than I had envisaged in my mind before I looked it up before I went. But you walk in, say, the American one at Omaha, and just start to read some of the names on the graves, and it somehow makes it more personal - all these men had families and loved ones back home, far, far away.

I said it before, but nothing prepares you for the scale.

I'm not the emotional type, but I defy anybody not to be moved. I know I was  :-[

That is exactly what I meant.
