    The milestones of the road to freedom. From Sainte-Mère-Eglise to Metz and Bastogne, 12,000 symbolic milestones mark the road traveled by General Patton's army. From Avranches, they especially evoke the rapid advance of the 20th Army Corps of the 3rd US Army. The landmark of freedom was unveiled in 1947 as a tribute to the US (the 48 stars represent the 48 states). In addition to the torch-shaped freedom sign modeled on the Statue of Liberty in New York, the stone is decorated with the 3rd US Army emblem and waves that refer to the Atlantic Ocean. Milestone 0 represents the town hall of Sainte-Mère-Eglise, milestone 00 on Utah Beach.
