2013, a new year of remembrance in Normandy


As has been the case for the past 69 years it turns out, the people of Normandy have been celebrating the anniversary of the Allied landings on June 6th. As you know, this commemoration takes on a national character. In 2013, the ceremonies will feature, on June 6th, a gathering of young people on the beach of Vierville-sur-Mer, then a moment of contemplation and quiet remembrance at the American Cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer in the afternoon, and nally the national ceremony at Vierville-sur-Mer. Vierville is a small town situated at the far west end of Omaha Beach, in the very same place where the temporary harbour was built and which the storm of June 18-20, 1944 was to destroy. Many ceremonies will naturally be held throughout the summer of 2013 in remembrance of the Battle of Normandy which lasted 80 days and claimed so many civilian lives. The annual ceremony in memory of civilian victims will be held on Sunday, June 9th in Priers, in the Manche department, a few miles north of Saint-L. As visitors, come and share our emotion and gratitude towards our Allies who came to restore our FREEDOM and the Peace we have been enjoying ever since back to France and Europe. Chairman Amiral Brac de La Perrire
