![]() ![]() WWII veteran Dan Farley and Viscount Montgomery of Alamein will be with the group as special guests for the Normandy portion of the trip. Other noteworthy sites early in the tour include Pegasus Bridge, Sainte Mère-Église and Brécourt Manor. There, they will pay homage to the American troops who lost their lives by visiting the American Cemetery at Omaha Beach. Travelers will visit the D-Day headquarters in England where General Eisenhower ordered the start of the Allied assault, then travel to Normandy where they will retrace the greatest amphibious invasion in history. The tour follows the journey of American troops from England to the beaches of Normandy and through the Ardennes Forest. We are thrilled that Alex Kershaw, bestselling author of The Bedford Boys, The Longest Winter, The Few and Escape from the Deep, will be the featured historian for our two-part Victory in Europe tour, scheduled for May 30 – June 15, 2012.
