With a view on Omaha Beach and the English Channel from which they came, 9.387 white crosses and stars look out from their final resting place on this American War Cemetery.
The 70 acres large cemetery is well cared for and although it is a place to remember us of the sacrifice of life for a terrible war, the surrounding colors are white, green and light, and seem to share a message of hope. A big contrast with the small black stones marking the graves of the German War Cemetery of La Cambe nearby.
You can walk down to the beach or like us be in time to see the ceremony to lower the Stars and Stripes. And yes, this is the cemetery from the movie “Saving Private Ryan”.
