A Visit to the Shores of Normandy - Part 1 with Dwight Anderson, Steve Reiter, and Henry Boswell
On June 6, 1944, over 150,000 American, British, and Canadian troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to liberate the people of France during World War II, a day now known as D-Day. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson shares personal memories from his visit in 2010 to the Normandy American Cemetery in France, where 4,400 Allied soldiers are buried. The opening scene of the film, Saving Private Ryan, captured both the raw horror and the indisputable heroism of the men who sacrificed their lives for freedom on that shore 80 years ago. You’ll be transported to that moment in time as Dr. Dobson and his guests honor those courageous men who lost their lives.
