View Full Version : Normandy: Then and now
Gentlemen,
I though a few of you might enjoy this, it's a collection of photo's of Normandy, one from during the War and the other in present day. Interesting to contrast the two.

I went to School in Caen, Normandie.... It changed my life. Before visiting those fields I never really understood the magnitude of that day.... Those photos are missing the most important places in Normandy today....
More US, British, and Canadian flags flying along that stretch of the Normandy coast than French flags - and not a Nazi flag in sight. ;)
I found all the small, scattered British and Canadian cemeteries in Normandy to also be quite moving.

Thanks. God rest their souls.
While on this site, izismile.com, host site for the pictures, I picked up the trojan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_horse_(computing)#Example) "Personal Guard 2009". Believe me, this is not something you want. This was on my new laptop, running McAfee VirusScan Enterprise. I already knew about this trojan and how it works and yet it still managed to load to my laptop. It took over 3 hours to get rid of it. The challenge is finding a real package that will remove it. Several will scan for free, ths can take an hour, but then require you to purchase to remove it. I finally found this (http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?part=dl-10804572&subj=dl&tag=button) package which will remove it as part of the free trial version. I do not work for, have any interest in, or advance knowledge of the product (Malwarebytes ). Only know that it did the job for me. I do know that Personal Guard 2009 will eventually take over your PC.
