The invasion of Normandy, France on June 6, 1944 (D-Day) was a triumph of intelligence, coordination, secrecy, and planning that opened the long-awaited "Second Front" against Adolf Hitler's Germany. The bold attack was a tremendous risk that ultimately succeeded because of individual soldiers' bravery in combat.
The 172.5 acres Normandy American Cemetery has 9,387 burials of US service men and women. Of this number, some 307 are unknowns, three are Medal of Honor winners and four are women. In addition there are 33 pairs of brothers buried side by side. It is the largest American Cemetery from WW2. Today we honor the memory of the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives in this war.
