Dutch Currahees, a Dutch group focused on the 101st Airborne Division,
506th PIR with special interest in Easy Company 2nd Bat. History and
Re-enactment. Nice and beautiful pictures !
I have met this group in Ste Marie Du Mont, on June 5th 2003, near Utah
Beach. Splendid guys. Hans, thank you so much for the marvelous
souvenirs. On this site you should read the story of David Rogers. The
Currahees and I went up into the bell tower of the church where Hans took
his phone and called David to tell him we stood on the exact spot where
David had to fight in 1944. Special moment...

Historic Tours and true friends !
During the tour season, Cristy and Ray reside in the Omaha Beach Sector of
Normandy, France and during the off season they reside in the Tampa Bay
area of Florida. They are the only American Tour Directors who actually
live in Normandy and they live the history daily. However, although they
reside six months of the year in Normandy, they also personally guide
their tour members in Paris, the Battle of the Bulge areas of Belgium and
Luxembourg and Germany.

If
you are looking for a NICE place to stay in Normandy I can recommend this
marvelous gite in Géfosse-Fontenay, in the middle between Utah and Omaha,
close to Pointe du Hoc and Isigny-sur-Mer. The owners and habitants are
Rob and Jos and they are absolutely friendly people. I will return there
in the future, that's for sure !
