The facts: April 8th, 2013, six Normandy tourist offices took the initiative to create the "mythical sector of the landing beaches" relying on actual tourism and tourist operators figure. Some of the landing beaches and drop zones were not integrated, such as a part of Juno Beach, Sword Beach and the area of the 6th Airborne Division north of Caen.
The reactions: Leon Gautier, president of the Free France Commandos veterans, has already protested against this initiative, as well as Admiral Brac de La Perrière, president of the Normandie-Mémoire and D-Day Committee associations. :shock:
I have just signed the petition "Suppression du secteur mythique des plages du débarquement" on Change.org.
It's important. Will you sign it too? Here's the link:

I've either signed 3 times .... or it didn't work at all. My intentions were good.

If I have praised my comrades too highly I make no apology, for they were beyond all praise.
