Wonderful place to visit. Visited today, June 6. 74th Anniversary of D-Day. Free admission today. Very moving, touching, historical site. Highly recommend!

A somber and moving memorial. I had the opportunity to attend 2 D-Day ceremonies with my Uncle. He was in the US Navy, but was assigned to the 316th Infantry Regiment, out of Bedford, for the invasion. They hit the beach at "Easy Red" on the first wave. To say the least he was extremely moved by the ceremony and the memorial. This needs to be operated by the government due to its importance.

Very nice memorial. Must do a docent led tour, as you really won’t get how the memorial is set up and designed, and that is basically all there is. Our tour guide was Kevin and he did an excellent job. The tour was ~1-1/2 hours and included with the price of admission. It is certainly a nice thing to do for a day trip. The memorial is beautiful and very well done. As someone else mentioned, the sculptures are unnervingly life-like.

A remarkably well designed and symbolic memorial. Absolutely worth the trip. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable; our tour guide, Bob, did an excellent job of explaining the elements of the grounds. Don't miss it!

Absolutely an amazing experience paying homage to America's finest hour. Tour guides are top notch and the sculptures have such attention to detail its uncanny. Highly recommend this to all!
