The saluting boy on Omaha Beach...

The saluting boy on Omaha Beach...  Reader Simi L. passes along this mini-documentary about a young boy honoring the soldiers who landed at Omaha Beach on D-Day.

I visited this beach myself some 20 years ago.  I was struck by the friendliness toward Americans of the locals (a marked contrast to the rest of France).  Of all the things I saw there, the cemeteries had the most impact on me...
