Gary Waitzman talks about his upcoming tour to Normandy this fall and the tasks ahead of him in this second in a series of videos.

This town was liberated by the British and the largest British commonwealth cemetery is located there.
This series covers the Battle of Normandy launched on D-Day, June 6th, 1944, and the opening stages known as Operation Overlord. T was filmed in Lincolnshire Illinois where Gary practices Estate Planning Law in his firm, Law Offices of Gary Waitzman, LLC.

Our Tour of Normandy and Omaha Beach
In November 2002, Theresa and David Asa toured Normandy, France. It was a great history lesson about D-Day. We learned a lot - for example when walking through the cemetery you are actually on American soil. We also uncovered some interesting family history!

Coast and Beaches of Normandy - As seen from Sky and Sea. I had the honor while serving in the Army to fly a tactival flight aboard a C-130 and visit the beaches of Normandy from the air and sea, where the Allies landed in June 1944. Thought to share it with you.

The Sands Of Normandy
A decisive moments of the Second World War... One hundred and fifty thousand allied troops storming the beaches of Normandy... one of the French beaches where they died. Joe Inwood was there to see a unique project by artists from Yorkshire - honouring the fallen.
Thank You Andy Moss and Jamie Wardley for your contribution to the memory of the fallen. For our way of life we must remember those who gave all and be thankful they were willing to do so.
Yorkshire sand artists plan huge Peace Day project on D-Day beach for 21 September 2013
Two Yorkshire sand artists are to create a vast sand art project on one of the beaches which featured in the D-Day in France this weekend (21 September). They will lead a team of volunteers to make 9,000 sand drawings to mark Peace Day, representing the souls who lost their lives there during World War II.
Jamie Wardley and Andy Moss, from Bradford, have come up with the idea of The Fallen to mark Peace Day. They will create stencilled drawings in the sand of the 9,000 civilians, German forces and Allies who died at Arromanches on 6 June 1944. The silhouettes of those individuals will be drawn on the beach at the rate at which they fell only to be totally erased by the incoming tide, as their own lives were.
“The Fallen is a sobering reminder of what happens when peace is not present. The idea is to create a visual representation of what is otherwise unimaginable – the thousands of human lives lost during the hours of the tide during the WWII Normandy landings on 6 June 1944. There will be no distinction between nationalities, they will be known only as ‘The Fallen’. It does not propose to be a celebration or condemnation, simply a statement of fact and tribute to life and its premature loss,” says Jamie.
“This project will bring together people from all nationalities, backgrounds and ages. Each individual will work in a team to make a person using a stencil and by raking the sand. The use of stencils means that anybody can participate whether they are veterans or families with children. Together, we will make a piece of art in harmony as a reflection of a peaceful world in which we would like to live,” adds Andy.
The Fallen will be created over five hours by a minimum of 100 people. Many volunteers have already signed up, although more are welcome to join the project, which will raise awareness of Peace Day and Peace One Day. The project is being funded by Sand In Your Eye, with support from local building merchants, Uriah Woodhead, who have supplied all the materials.
Volunteers wishing to join them at Arromanches on 21 September to be part of this incredible project should visit thefallen9000.info for more details. With their company Sand In Your Eye, they have worked with the likes of Aardman animation but community art projects such as The Fallen are close to their hearts.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Charles André Joseph Marie de Gaulle (; French pronunciation: [ʃaʁl də ɡol] (listen); 22 November 1890 – 9 November 1970) was a French army officer and statesman who led the French Resistance against Nazi Germany in World War II and chaired the Provisional Government of the French Republic from 1944 to 1946 in order to establish democracy in France. In 1958, he came out of retirement when appointed President of the Council of Ministers by President René Coty. He was asked to rewrite the Constitution of France and founded the Fifth Republic after approval by referendum.
