American WWII Heritage in Normandy
Walk in the footsteps of heroes
For Americans, Normandy represents the ultimate sacrifice made by the Greatest Generation. Omaha Beach, where 2,400 Americans fell on June 6, 1944, remains one of the most powerful places any American can visit.
The Normandy American Cemetery overlooks the beach where so many gave their lives, with 9,387 white marble crosses and Stars of David standing in perfect rows. Many families trace ancestry connections to soldiers who fought here.
