Normandy a moment of remembrance 🇫🇷🕊️
Today’s commemoration at Omaha Beach, Normandy, France is dedicated to the women of the US Army Nurse Corps 🇺🇸
I have never been particularly drawn to very official ceremonies or uniforms, but this way of remembering has a deep meaning for me.
History is often written in the masculine, but victory would not have been possible without women. Nurses, resistance fighters, volunteers, and so many others… they were essential, both behind the scenes and in the spotlight. 🪖✨
As an independent woman, building my own business, I am deeply aware of the opportunities I have today. Without the courage and struggles of the women who came before us, this freedom may not have been possible. 🤍
Thank you to all those women who fought, served, and paved the way. 🕊️
Thank you to Omaha's Nurses Return for keeping their memory alive and helping us never forget. 🕊️❤️
