"My recent tour of Normandy to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the D-Day Invasion was a once in a lifetime experience due to the knowledge and expertise of our guide, Will Cavanagh.  After five days visiting the beaches, battle sites, and museums in Normandy and attending a heads-of-state ceremony at the American Military Cemetery at Colleville, we traveled to Belgium for four days studying the Battle of the Bulge and several museums and military cemeteries.  This was my second military tour with Will and I plan to go with him again.

My first tour with Will was in December of 2007 to commemorate the Battle of the Bulge in theArdennes.  The tour included walks in the forests; explanations of unit positions and their strengths.
