Great stuff!

When I was stationed in Germany (87-89), I visited St. Mer-Eglise,  and walked the entire length of Utah and part of Omaha beaches....... met a very old Frenchman who did his best to tell me his story...... he gave me a ride out to the beach from St. Mer-Eglise......  there were white markers (just markers, not graves) everywhere where or guys had fallen..... names, hometowns and dates. 

At that time, GI's were not popular in Paris..... but in St. Mer-Eglise, we were still "Amis" ......
