An
honor to follow in the footsteps of
the brave men 62 years before us and
pay a small recognition to their accomplishment.
We took a tour of the beach with the
very knowledgeable Sébastien.
Very neat to see the area and the bunker
as well as the very new facilities.
The design of the building as a maple
leaf pays tribute to the Canadians,
but almost looks out of place in such
a hardy area. The fact that 99% of
Canadian Forces were volunteers pays
great tribute to a people willing to
disregard their own needs for the good
of the whole.

Very
good museum – clearly set out;
good access to information written and
audio-visual. Saw beach and toured museum.
Important for my American students to
see perspective of Canadian involvement
in World War II as a whole and Normandy
in particular. Very friendly welcome
to museum and enthusiastic guide. Great
addition to the museum/ Normandy sites
for student group.
