Grand Idea...Poor Execution

We saw on the news that the The National D-Day Memorial has an annual December celebration where they light luminaries to honor the 2,499 Americans who lost their lives on D-Day. Luminaries are also placed in honor of men and women who have served our country by their friends and family. So, last night we drove to Bedford to attend the event. This year 4,413 luminaries lined the drive up to the Memorial and were evident through out the facility as well. What a grand idea to honor of our veterans! We were disappointed, however, because the LED candles in the luminaries were so faint, there was literally no visual impact. I wish the candles were brighter so each luminary brightly lit a spot around itself. That would light up the entire hill and Memorial providing a visual impact commensurate with the grand idea prompting the celebration!
