The President is getting a lot of flak on certain blogs and forums (not here, I hasten to add) because of unfounded rumours of D-Day commemorative events being cancelled etc. due to his visit.
The latest news I have is that nothing is cancelled, but security will be tighter than usual for the ceremonies at the US cemetary and for his visit to the beach there, both on June 6th.
Apart from that, he is not scheduled to be visiting any other events and so they should be largely unaffected.
This is according to our regional Normandy newspaper; I have translated and posted the relevant info on our blog here:
Obama and D-Day 2009 in Normandy
Anyone planning on going to Normandy should not be put off by silly rumours - check the facts and don't believe everything that you read on the Internet (even I make mistakes, LOL).
PS - Imagine what would be said if he WASN'T attending!
