Normandy tribute fills beaches with silent memorials
The scene on a bluff overlooking the landing site honors fallen heroes as two Norman girls lay wreaths. Brigadier General Joseph O’Hare and Captain Smith Hutton represented the U S in Paris to mark five years since the Crusade in Europe. French villages awarded Croix de Guerre while a US Flying Fortress released petals above the wrecked German plane. In separate news, delayed negotiations resumed after a week as Moody criticized Lewis's bargaining tactics and SCAP’s authority.
