PILGRIMAGE TO THE D-DAY BEACHES ARTICLE WRITTEN BY SHARON NELSON IN “VIRGINIA LAWYER MAGAZINE”

February 25, 2014

Sharon Nelson and members of the Virginia State Bar attended the Midyear Legal Seminar in Paris, France last November.  The attendees took a side trip to visit Omaha Beach, one of the five sites for the famous D-Day landing in World War II. It was the largest amphibious invasions in world history and took place along the Normandy coast.  The steep cliffs were beautiful, but everyone knew the perils faced by theUnited States Army Rangers who had to scale these cliffs on D-Day.

The Virginia State Bar members had a beautiful butsomber visit to the site, with much thought and reflection about the brave soldiers who gave their to protect our freedom.  This was such a brutal battle that many of the warriors were not able to be identified and that is why there are 307 tombstones that bear the inscription, “Here rests in honored glory a fallen comrade, known but to God.”
