The MAAM group has offered a D/L called MAAMCMTY, a somber piece of scenery for FS 9.They give three towns to locate this cemetery. I could not find them in FS. I would like to acquire the LAT,and LONG of this place.I put my finger on the map,and on the spot, but no result, for me that is.Would appreciate if any one could help. Many others, 60yrs ago know where this place is. THANX VIN

Thanx, I found it, N49 22.65 W0 54.41
9,387 US servicemen buried in France,at OMAHA. MAAM did a great job with this Memorial scenery for FS9,and to those who think its relevant, Its worth having. VIN

That picture is very moving.

It is simply amazing to me as an American how quickly the past is forgotten and how much the French despise us as Americans despite the liberty so many of our youth died to give them...
But that is another subject entirely, I am glad someone put a tribute to this into the scenery. Now we need Arlington,
