We wouldn’t go as far as calling ourselves historians, and rarely do we get the opportunity to discuss war history on any of our Power Automedia publications. But thanks to a Camaro club in France, we now have an excuse to do so!
On November, 18th of this year, a road trip brought a group of twenty or so fifth-generation Camaros from Bayeux, France to Omaha Beach in Normandy. For those of you that know you’re history know that it was indeed the Americans who christened the beach as “Omaha” in an effort to keep the planned attack a secret.
Part of the mission was not only to reclaim land for the France who was occupied by Germany, but also the kick-start of our attempt to liberate Europe as a whole. But as we know, the attempt wasn’t an effort solely brought on by the Americans. Nope, it was the Canadians, the Free French Forces, and the United Kingdom who helped with the mission succeed in a team effort.
To commemorate the occasion and to show their appreciation to America, these French Camaro enthusiasts made it a point to visit the historical site.
With our country fresh out of a controversial election process, and many Americans questioning the patriotism of our allies and own citizens, we can now put those silly questions to rest. Our country is continually working at getting things back on track, and we can believe in our great nation now more than ever.
If you want to read more about this outing, or if you just want to look at the many more pictures that our French friends took, then head over to the Camaro5 site here.
