Early Saturday, June 6th 2009 we arrived at Juno Beach. Contrary to what many think, the place is not called that. Juno Beach was a code name for the Canadian part of the Allied landings that all occurred that day. The town is Bernieres-sur-Mer. This shot is looking down the beach from the German pillbox pictured below.
Ken and I are finally at the place where his Uncle landed and Dad, too. It was such a compelling thing in his life, the War. We need to understand it better.
