The DW and I travelled to DePanne, Belgium last October for the land sailing championships. We decided to visit Normandy before hand, since my father was there during the war.
We stayed at La Fiere near St Mere Eglise and toured from there.
I would love to return someday soon, Clint

Yes it's a parachute, in memory of a parachutist who is stucked on the roof of the church.
You can see this history in the film "the longest day"

I remember that with Red Buttons as the one hanging there while the German soldiers walked around under him.

I just edited the above post to make the YouTube video a link.
On edit: Is that Red Buttons or Alan Young?
