We took a French river tour a few years ago that ended in Honfleur, France. Part of the tour was a ceremony at the US cemetery at Omaha Beach that ended with each getting a flower to put on a veteran's grave. Since we are living in Tennessee currently, we found a veteran from TN that gave the ultimate sacrifice to place our flower on.We walked among some of the graves at Omaha Beach on Veterans Day, about 2003.
Lots of things to see on the D-Day beaches, well worth the stop if you go to France.

To the OP, Fulton Armory does a nice job of restoring Garands. A friend of mine has a Fulton Armory Garand and it looks great as well.
My first Garand dates to November, 1941. I suspect it never left the US but it will never tell. A CMP Service Grade received from around year 2000, I have left it as received from CMP, a Red River Arsenal rebuild, and it shoots well.
