How many people lost their lives here. Here, history comes alive.

It shines with a thousand lights with the sun, we see it from far away

The memorial was created by French artist Anilore Banon and consists of three symbolic elements: "The Wings of Hope": These are intended to remind us that the spirit that carried the men on June 6, 1944, should continue to inspire us. "Rise, Freedom!": This element symbolizes the courage of the soldiers who rose up against tyranny. "The Wings of Fraternity": These represent solidarity and a sense of unity between nations.

When you walk along the beach today... you are horrified to think that so many soldiers/people lost their lives here.

The 5th Engineer Special Brigade was a special unit of the U.S. Army that played a crucial role in the Normandy landings on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Their primary task was to remove beach obstacles and create paths for the following troops. Despite heavy losses, they managed to remove enough obstacles and build passable paths to allow American troops and equipment to land and leave the exposed beach.
