I whole heartedly agree, to stand there at Pointe du Hoc and, just for a minute, transform yourself back to the mayhem, between the noise of those guns, bullets coming at you etc. it must have been pure adrenalin to a level that is incalculable. What was heartening to see was that along the way, from the Normandy/American Cemetary to Omaha Beach to Pointe du Hoc, was, still to this day, the road is lined with American flags and American GI banners flying from lampposts with the pictures/names of WWII soldiers.
