Our most recent such revelation came at Brittany Cemetery on Memorial Day, 2004.</span> <center><a style="color:#336666" href="http://manormandie.googlepages.com" target="blank"><b>Visit <i>Ma Normandie</i> Website</b></a></center> <a href="http://manormandie.googlepages.com/manormandiegalleries-wwiimemorials"><font style="color: #336666;" > <b>« <i>Ma Normandie</i> Galleries - <i>WWII Memorials</i></b></font></a></div>
