The American cemetery of Colleville sur Mer is located at the top of the cliff overlooking the famous Omaha beach. No one enters the Colleville cemetery by chance, it must be done voluntarily. The white marble crosses all face the country where they were born. This small haven of greenery invites contemplation and remembrance. 9,388 young men and women gave their lives to liberate France. Below, Omaha beach has become quiet again.
