Omaha beach Signal memorial, War memorial in Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, France.
The Signal Memorial at Omaha Beach is a stone monument with engravings that commemorates the fighting of the 1st Infantry Division on June 6, 1944. The structure sits directly on the beach and features explanatory panels in several languages.
The memorial marks the landing and fighting of American forces on June 6, 1944, when soldiers came ashore at this beach during the invasion of Normandy. The monument was built afterward to preserve this historical event.
The memorial honors American soldiers who fought here during Operation Overlord and served the effort to free Europe. This site brings together people from many nations who come to pay respect.
The memorial sits directly on the beach and is easy to reach on foot, with panels to guide your understanding. Wear sturdy shoes since beach access can be uneven, and bring protection from wind and weather.
The memorial incorporates preserved radio equipment that was actually used during the invasion operation. These authentic machines offer visitors a tangible connection to the communication systems soldiers relied on.
