Thanks to Patrick Hilyer for providing opportunities for virtual travel and learning about D-Day at Utah Beach, in Normandy.

It is the next best thing to being there....…

I would recommend anyone who has an interest in D-Day history to join one of the tours. I have learnt so much and can't wait to join the next online tour…
