Les Braves Monument, Omaha Beach
Highlight • Monument
The plaque with an explanation about the monument is on the boulevard of Omaha Beach.
Caption from the maker of the monument:
I created this to honor the courage of these people:
Sons, husbands and fathers, who endangered and often sacrificed their lives in the hope of freeing the French.
Les Braves consists of three elements:
=> The wings of hope
So that the strength that these men carried on June 6, 1944 will continue to inspire us and remind us that together it is always possible to change the future.
=> Rise, freedom!
So that the example of those who rose up against barbarism will help us to stand strong against all forms of inhumanity.
=> The wings of brotherhood
So that this wave of brotherhood always reminds us of our responsibility towards others and ourselves.
On June 6, 1944, these men were more than soldiers, they were our brothers.
