A meeting with four veterans organized by Deep Respect

One Sunday afternoon, the city council of Vierville-sur-Mer and the Deep Respect association invited residents to meet four American and English veterans at the party hall.

The association maintained friendships with veterans and their families every year, while transmitting the memory of soldiers who died for freedom. Welcomed in front of the museum by the Gateways of Omaha, the veterans then reached the seaside by jeep. A photograph shows Charles Shay exchanging with the members of the Passerelles.

After Mayor Antoine de Bellaigue's welcome speech, conversations with residents continued: signings, testimonies, anecdotes and emotional moments punctuated the afternoon.
