You are invited to join us for an unforgettable trip to some of the battlefields where our brave Americans fought and died for the cause of liberty in WWII. We will tour the beaches of Normandy (Gold, Juno, Sword, Utah and most famously, Omaha Beach). Among the highlights of our tour will be Pointe DuHoc where our rangers scaled the cliffs paying a great cost of lives and St. Mere-Eglise where our airborne division parachuted in the early hours of invasion day. Among other things, we will have a prayer and praise service in the cemetery at Omaha Beach. Before the tour of the beaches begins we will visit the amazing war museum in Caen, France (Memorial DeCaen), which will set the tone for the tour. As we travel down the beaches of Normandy we will enjoy the beautiful french countryside.

Our bus will leave from Rhein River Baptist Church, Mannheim, Germany at approximately 8:00 p.m. on Sunday night, July 19. We can arrange an airport shuttle for you, if you so desire. From Mannhein, we will overnight on a luxury, air-conditioned coach and arrive in Caen, France at approximately 8:00 a.m. on Monday, July 20. You will be responsible for making your own hotel reservationS for any days/nights prior to the beginning of the tour on Sunday night, July 19 or after Wednesday, July 22 (Thursday night/early Friday morning we will be traveling on the bus back to Mannheim.).

We will tour the beaches on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. At approximately 9:00 a.m. on Thursday morning, July 23, we will travel the short distance to Paris, France.
