You have to see it to understand the full extent of what happend on that day in June, 1944. It is a very somber expeience, but I would highly recommend a visit to this historic Cemetery where so many gave their all. As an Amercian, this is the only land we occupy in France and everyone should see it. There... More

So glad we had the priviledge to visit this amazing place where our soldiers fought...This is a must see for Americans. We felt teary-eyed the whole time..the museum is beautiful as are the grounds...highly recommend.

We assumed this would be a very humbling experience, but was not prepared for the deep emotion we felt just entering the parking lot. It was very serene and since we arrived early in the month of April, we did not encounter any long lines. There was a short introduction and ceremony at the entrance. When taps played, there was...

The day we visited the line at the visitor center was very long, so we proceeded directly to the cemetery itself. We approached from the back side, so the names were not visible at first.

Call me a dinosaur being 60 years of age if you want to but I was bought up to show respect in cemeteries & especially war cemeteries. The general atmosphere of many people including many coach loads of both American & European students 15, 16 year olds who were too busy talking, texting & taking pictures of each other on... More

The day we went, there was a fairly long line to enter the Visitors Center, but you should try to see the video and the exhibits if you can. The memorial is very impressive, but nothing can compare to the sight of the cemetery itself. Wandering though the peaceful, orderly lines of crosses and stars of David made me mindful... More

All of the gravesites, each perfectly aligned with the next, in a setting that is both tranquil and well kept. A path that leads down to Omaha Beach gives you an idea of the climb it took to take control...a fitting and beautiful resting spot for true heroes.

We didn't encounter any lines here when we went to the Memorial. There was a short movie we were able to see and also different displays. We were just in time for a complimentary tour of the cemetery which lasted an hour. The tour guide did a fabulous job and explained a lot of the history as well as highlighting... More
