Having been to both WWI and WWII sites in Belgium and France, the solemnity of the places hits straight away. On the boats taking us out to the USS Arizona, the atmosphere was almost theme park like. I think you hit the nail on the head with theme park. Gettysburg is a theme park, I think they have trouble separating reality from entertainment. Omaha Beach to them is all about Private Ryan not D Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
