We arrived at Omaha Beach in the evening during low tide. This is the monument "Les Braves", dedicated to the men that fought here on D-Day. During high tide the sculpture appears to rise out of the water. 
Standing on Omaha Beach was very moving. There's not a whole lot I can write about Normandy that would really be able to describe this place, so I'm not going to try. 
There are 9,387 headstones here. The Normandy American cemetery is one of 14 permanent American WWII military cemeteries on foreign soil.
