VA Public Affairs Photographer Robert Turtil tries to go to Normandy on vacation every year in conjunction with D-Day events.  Robert says it has become part of who he is and always inspires him. Robert has already made one trip this year… last month… for a huge Boy Scout encampment on the Normandy banks that kicked off this year’s celebration of the 70th anniversary of D-Day.  There were thousands of Boy Scouts there from U.S. military facilities and countries all over Europe.  Here is that event told with Robert Turtil’s photos.

    The boy scouts and Girl scouts hold the key to our future; all our VFW posts should be working with them and supporting them.
