Vierville-sur-Mer National Guard Memorial:
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'.

Les Braves Monument, Omaha Beach

Highlight • Monument

The Omaha Beach monument Les Braves is located in the middle of Omaha Beach.

The plaque with an explanation about the monument is on the boulevard of Omaha Beach.

Caption from the maker of the monument:

I created this to honor the courage of these people:

Sons, husbands and fathers, who endangered and often sacrificed their lives in the hope of freeing the French.

Les Braves consists of three elements:

=> The wings of hope

So that the strength that these men carried on June 6, 1944 will continue to inspire us and remind us that together it is always possible to change the future.

=> Rise, freedom!

So that the example of those who rose up against barbarism will help us to stand strong against all forms of inhumanity.

=> The wings of brotherhood

So that this wave of brotherhood always reminds us of our responsibility towards others and ourselves.

On June 6, 1944, these men were more than soldiers, they were our brothers.
