D Day beaches

Today we went to the D Day beaches. The D Day beaches is were the war was on. My dad said if the beach didn't exist I would not of got born. We went to the beach and had a look at the beach and then we went to the top of the hill and went into the fort where the Germans hid. Then we climbed up a little higher and went inside a tunnel and came out up at the top.

Then we went back in the car and drove to the American Cemetery. At the American Cemetery we learnt about the Second World War and the D Day invasion. Then I had a sit down and I watched some film about the War on the TV. I went to an aisle and I read about the poor nurse who died. I saw her bag and the things that were in there. The things that were inside were mostly in boxes.

We went outside and saw a whole bunch of white things. I went closer to them and I worked out that they were crosses. Some of the crosses were stars which means the soldier who is buried there is Jewish. I took lots of photos of them and saw one of them called Walter. I kept walking and I saw a person who died on the 28th of July which is my birthday.

I felt very sad but we are very lucky for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for our lives. I also felt sad today because my kitty cat called Tigger died today too.

Even though it was sad I learnt a lot today
