"Thanks to Patrick Hilyer for providing opportunities for virtual travel and learning about D-Day at Utah Beach, in Normandy. The program includes video visits to the landing beaches, monuments, and museums as well as a wealth of historic information, photos, charts and accounts of soldiers who were involved on that day. Patrick provides opportunities for viewers to ask questions. I have had the privilege of visiting the site in person several years ago, but enjoyed 'being there' by Zoom and learning some things that I didn't already know.
