This memorial was erected in memory of the US National Guard. The US 29th Infantry Division, which landed on Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944, was part of the National Guard. This division had a hard time during D-Day. The 35th Infantry Division was also part of the National Guard but did not land on Omaha Beach until early July. The monument was built after the war on the formidable German 'wiederstandnest 72'.
