Description
An account of the resource
This beautiful cemetery overlooks Omaha Beach which was the scene of the bloodiest fighting for the U.S. on June 6, 1944. The site was built and is maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission. The visitor’s center contains a wealth of displays and information about the fighting at Normandy and the units that participated. There is also a moving hallway – the Hall of Sacrifice -- where the names of those who are interred in the cemetery are read aloud as you walk through into a room that highlights personal stories of some of those who are buried here. The cemetery contains 9,387 burial sites including 34 pairs of brothers as well as several women who served with the Red Cross and the WACs. There are also 3 Medal of Honor Recipients interred here. Behind the memorial area is a wall inscribed with the names of 1,557 missing servicemen who have no known graves. The large memorial is comprised of an impressive semi-circular colonnade; inside are engravings of battle maps from the fighting in Normandy. At the end of the colonnades are large black ornamental urns. In the middle of the semi-circular is a spectacular 22 foot tall sculpture entitled The Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves, sculpted by Donald de Lue. In front of the memorial is a large rectangular reflecting pool flanked by flagpoles from which fly large U.S. flags. There is also a memorial chapel along the center walkway among the gravestones; the ceiling of the chapel contains a beautiful mosaic. On the far end of the cemetery are two granite statues that represent France and the U.S.
