The D-Day Memorial commemorates the victims and heroes of the landing. It consists of memorial plaques, flags, and sculptures commemorating the soldiers and units involved. Particularly famous is the modern steel sculpture "Les Braves," which consists of three parts: "The Wings of Hope," "Rise, Freedom!", and "The Wings of Fraternity." They symbolize hope, freedom, and fraternity—the core values of the Allied mission.

The Plage des Braves ("Beach of the Brave") lies directly in front of the Normandy American Cemetery and is the part of Omaha Beach where American troops landed on D-Day on June 6, 1944. The beach now stands as a silent memorial to the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought here, suffering heavy losses, to end the German occupation. At the edge of the beach stands the Plage des Braves Memorial, a simple but impressive monument commemorating the valor of American soldiers. It is estimated that between 2,000 and 2,500 American soldiers died in the Omaha Beach landings. This number includes those who died directly during the landings and in the immediate fighting around the beach.

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

What a beautiful landscape, peaceful today and perfect for enjoying nature.

A large portion of the bunkers is still accessible. Considering the pieces, ONLY as structures, what was created there is quite remarkable. Unfortunately, not for PEACE. They brought death and destruction.

The memorial is located directly on the beach of Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer and is a central place of remembrance for the victims and heroes of the Second World War.
