The cemetery of Colleville/Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer was inaugurated in 1956 after four years work. The cemetery overlooks the beaches of Omaha. Emotion overwhelms the visitor facing the large central viewpoint, the Memorial decorated with a huge Battle map, the «Garden of the missing» where are carved the names of 1 557 missing soldiers, and the ten squares of steles, perfectly line up where are buried 9 386 American soldiers and 4 women. At the entrance a capsule dedicated to General Eisenhower contains the report of the D-Day fighting and had been sealed on 6 June 1969.
