유타 해변(Utah Beach)은 제2차 세계 대전 중인 1944년 6월 6일(D-Day) 노르망디 상륙 작전의 다섯 개 해변 중 하나에 연합군이 부여한 코드명입니다. 이곳은 전체 오버로드 작전(Operation Overlord)에서 가장 서쪽에 있는 공격 구역이었으며 코탕탱 반도(Cotentin Peninsula)의 푸프빌(Pouppeville)과 생마르탱드바르빌(Saint-Martin-de-Varreville) 사이에 위치했습니다. 오늘날 이곳은 생트마리뒤몽(Sainte-Marie-du-Mont) 관문에 있는 조용한 모래 해변으로, 역사적 기념물과 추모의 길이 풍부한 곳입니다.

The legendary Major Richard D. Winters, portrayed in the series ‘Band of Brothers’, is honored in bronze.
