Great photos! Photos of the dead always make me sad though. It's also hard to remember sometimes that the actual invasion/landings and the battles were just the beginning. There were men, machines and supplies pouring ashore there for months afterwards.

I'd like to do some beachcombing there with a metal detector.

Awesome pics. I can't imagine what it would've been like when those barge doors dropped! God bless all that have served and are serving now!
