It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Native American veteran Charles Norman Shay. He was 101. Charles was a 19-year-old US Army medic when he landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day and helped save lives. He died at his home in Bretteville-L'Orgueilleuse, here in Normandy.

Grim Lessons From Normandy 8 Decades On More folks should visit Normandy, particularly the D-Day beaches, where thousands sacrificed their lives for freedom. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

"More people should visit #Normandy, particularly the young, so that history doesn’t repeat itself. Unfortunately, it always seems to find a way".

Hi Doug. This Wikipedia page is about the geographical region of Normandy, which includes the Channel Islands. The capital of the Normandy region (Préfecture) is Rouen, which is also the largest urban area. Caen however is the political capital, as it is centrally located 🙂
