Many many moons ago, I spent Memorial Day in Le Havre, France, searching for a drawing that turned into a project that lead to a book in my home town by a local historian. I get shivers thinking about how things were there in 1945 on the same day, just before D-day.
In honor of Memorial Day, here are some internet items that you should see:
