The guide took us for a walk on Omaha and Juno.It was a little sureal because the bunkers and some of the gun enplacements are still there and people are having fun in the sun and kids are running around playing.Guess the locals don't even notice.My father didn't talk much about the war but did tell me a story about when his ship picked up Canadian P.O.W.'s who were slave laborers in the Mitsubushi armaments plant.Apparently they looked like the walking dead.The ones who didn't make it were worked,beaten or starved to death.I might be old school but I'll never own a Japanese or German car.I think it just shows a little respect.I know that's it's a different world now but it's just the way that I feel.
