@Bill: Thanks Bill! I had no idea either until my parents moved to the area. Now we are able to check out all the cool touristy stuff around their new home!

Excellent capture and what a sky you had 'delivered' for this shot. I love seeing the mountains in the Roanoke area, also.

@Judy: I know...the sky was a photogs dream come true! The mountains are the best. I prefer them to the shore any day.

@MadScientist: Thanks Mad Scientist...yes it is HUGE! I guess D-Day was huge, so they felt the need to build a HUGE monument!

Now, that is a quality monument . . as well it should be for the scale of what took place. I like how you have photographed it simply and let it speak for itself.
