The cemetery is located on the clifftop so it has a really nice view of the ocean and beach they tried to invade. The paths along the cemetery are very clean and the white crosses line the entire area. The crosses were evenly lined along …

I loved my staying here at this place. The Normandy as a whole. The word love in this case means much more a “thank” than any other think.
During the visit I few bad sometimes because I knew what had happened at that place in the past.

I wish more Americans had the opportunity to experience a tour around Normandy. It’s truly gut wrenching to learn about the impact WWII had on the region and just how many lives were affected on June 6th, 1944. This world could look a whole …

The feeling as you stand and gaze at the sheer number of graves (9,388) in the cemetery is almost overwhelming and is certainly very emotional. The whole site is …

An absolute must for any American who visits the D-Day beaches. Great maps of the D-Day invasion and subsequent Battle for Normandy on the interior of the monument itself. The immensity of the cemetery containing the graves of the 9,387, plus names of the 1,557 still unrecovered, must be seen to be appreciated.

This cemetery is about 500 meters from Omaha Beach. Most buried here didn't even make it that far. Words cant describe the surreal feeling when you walk around this place and think about what took place and the sacrifice these young men gave for the freedom we have today.

I went here a while ago, but what I remembered was a sense of something else, just being where people who fought during WWII are buried at was crazy. It's such a sad feeling, but also I enjoyed it because I was able to go.

Where to start..?
A place that truly humbles
Immaculate, clean, row upon row of graves
It's a place of calm and retrospective
A true celebration of those poor souls who died for our freedom

This is a memorial, museum, and cemetery. This was one of the most life changing museum experiences of my life. The museum/memorial bypasses a lot of niceties and cliches common of American war-related memorials/museums. Thankful for the intentional unity in and represented.
