OMAHA BEACH - Secteur Charlie & Dog Green

Vierville-sur-Mer, France Memorial

Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. One of the many remains and memorials of the war scattered all along the coast. You can easily park nearby to visit the statue, read the dedication and see the cannon and bunker on your trip through this sad page of history. The remains of a bridge used on D-day are nearby, but not approachable. It's hard to reconcile, especially on a sunny day, a peaceful happy beach promenade like this, with the bloody violence of D-Day. The bottom end of the Vierville Draw is busy with memorials to those who fought & died here. It's worth taking time out to read them. An overwhelming place, beautiful, surprisingly peaceful. The energy you can feel there is really strong! The monument is so simple and beautiful, the allied flags are there to remember all the people that died there for us to be free from the Nazis. Must see when in Normandy. The weather was excellent and the tides just right. Depicting the tide conditions sans the rough waves and windy weather. Moving, thought provoking, emotional. To stand here where so many perished was quite emotional. To see portions of the battlements, a bunker and sections of the floating pier was so amazing. Proud to be an American and part of the liberation of France 🇫🇷 It's definitely worth a visit, to actually see what the Brave men in the Invasion had to deal with. You'll see it in films and TV, but it's not the same as for seeing it yourself. Going in mai 2024, right before the 80th anniversary of D Day! I just visited alone, like should be, just to feel the places... Sitting alone in a machine gun nest, I was able to realize to a better extent, what the people endured at the landings. My Father, BM1 Emil Balogh, skippered a landing craft from the USS Charles Carroll and landed troops of the 29th Infantry Division here on Dday. He made the initial assault landing and several more that fateful day. He never got a scratch, sadly the same cannot be said for many of the troops he landed there under very heavy fire. My family visited there and my kids and I walked out to the water at low tide. I experienced shock and goosebumps when I saw how far we were from the bluffs….. I can’t imagine seeing that through soldiers eyes.
