Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial

The cemetery is located on a cliff overlooking Omaha Beach
(one of the landing beaches of the Normandy Invasion) and the English Channel.
It covers 70 ha (172 acres), and contains the remains of 9,387
American military dead, most of whom were killed during the
invasion of Normandy and ensuing military operations in World War II.
The graves face westward, towards the United States.
