Dead Mans Corner on the road to Carentan in Normandy. A house used by the Germans to control the region and stop the allies coming from the coast.

The real Church of Sainte-Mère-Église in Normandy france, with a representation John Steele of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, being traped by one of the corners of the church as his parachute snagged there.

Monument and memeriol to the soldiers of Easy Company of the 101 American Airborne that were among the first soldiers to land in Normandy in very early hours of June 6th 1944. It displays the names of those that died on that same day. D-day.

A monument dedicated to "LEADERSHIP", in particular to Richard Winters. A junior Officer of the 101 Airborne, known now for his association with Easy Company. It is a monument to TRUE leadership of men. Very few have "what it takes" to be a real leader. Dick Winters was one

I was here today.

Im Museum am Utah Beach, das der Invasion der Alliierten am 6. Juni 1944 gewidmet ist, steht dieses Flugzeug. Es heißt Dynah Might und wurde zur Bombadierung der Stellungen der Wehrmacht bis 10 Minuten vor der Landung der Landungsboote eingesetzt.

Utah Beach still reminds us how crucial the liberation of Europe from the Nazis by the Allies was. Today, Europe again needs the support of the United States to drive the war criminal Putin out of Ukraine and hold Russia accountable for its crimes.

Waves rolling onto the shore at Utah Beach.

A memorial, one of many, located at Utah Beach.

A sculpture commemorating the Higgins Boat, designed by Andrew Jackson Higgins, built in New Orleans and was one of the landing craft types used in the D-Day Landings.

Utah Beach, located on the Cotentin Peninsula, was the westernmost of the D-Day beaches. The U.S. Army's 4th Infantry Division led the main assault. The experience of getting to visit and walk on all five beaches was phenomenal. #photography #pixelography #dday #wwii #utahbeach #normandy #france

Codemakers: History of the Navajo Code Talkers After being vexed by Japanese cryptographers, Americans succeeded by developing a secret code based on the language of the Navajos. Meet the Code Talkers.

They were on #UtahBeach on #DDay & are credited with helping the #USMarines take #IwoJima.

They suffered discrimination before, during, & after their service.

Learn more about the #NavajoCodeTalkers. We owe it to them.

Photography of the statue of a soldier (sailor). The statue is made of metal and is seen from behind looking out onto the ocean from utah beach. the sun is low and tinting the scene in warm yellow light.

Visiting the #Normandy Landing Beaches has been on my bucket list for a very long time.
This year I finally made it there.

On the 80th anniversary of #DDay, we honor and remember all of those who fought for our freedom on the 6th June 1944. Fighting for their lives and our freedom they sacrificed so much. Their sacrifice and courage continue to inspire us. #UtahBeach #OmahaBeach #GoldBeach #JunoBeach #SwordBeach
