Hey guys, My name's Noel. I'm new here, although I've bumped into some of you in km18 and Alpadi. I'm a friend of Albert's, and is currently gearing up to play with you guys soon along with my nephews as 101st ABN troopers. For my first post, I thought I'd share photos from my fairly recent trip to Normandy. I only selected a few, because I think it would be better to view them in their flickrset where I wrote backgrounds for them.  Longues-sur-Mer battery casemate  Dog Green Sector, Omaha Beach  Bunker, Pointe-du-Hoc  Arches of Carentan  Bell Tower at Sainte-Mère-Église  Sign, Sainte-Mère-Église For the complete flickr set: www.flickr.com/photos/noelguevara/sets/72157624535283135/I'll upload photos from my visit to the imperial war museum later on. See you guys at the field  |

Thanks for the warm welcome. I just recently met with Junrey for our jumpsuits and I'll be meeting with Ner for our boots. Quite excited. Albert's been helping me with all the rest. If you guys are on facebook, do hit me up www.facebook.com/malegant(Edit: I just added captions to the photos, just in case) |

jimmiroquai: You should. It's an exhilarating and overwhelming experience. And to think I just did a one-day Normandy tour. Later on, I'm hoping to trace Easy's trek from Normandy, through the Low Countries, the Bois Jacques and Bastogne, Germany, and then the Eagle's Nest. I was actually in Salzburg 2 weeks after the Normandy tour, but the Obersalzberg and Berchtesgaden was closed in April.
