Soldiers Pause To Hear Prayers In Normandy Shrine
In Normandy near Hautteville a vast American armored column paused in a Sabbath moment as Pere Lemaitre led villagers and war widows to a roadside shrine. French, British and American flags adorned the cross. The priest prayed for the soldiers and liberation as tanks rested nearby and gendarmes joined the hymn. The scene blended faith and gratitude amid the war’s toll as the column moved on toward battle.
