United States Army

— World War II —

From North and South in our land we came that freedom might prevail.
On D-Day, 6 June 1944, in the great allied amphibious assault, the 29th Infantry Division stormed ashore on Omaha Beach to win a beachhead.
Our fallen lie among you. They gave the last full measure of their devotion. Sleep, comrades, forever young. We salute you.

Remember us.
————————————

Du nord au sud de notre patrie, nous sommes venus pour que triomphe la liberté.
Au Jour-"J", le 6 juin 1944, dans la grande vague d'assaut des troupes alliées. La 29eme Division d'Infanterie a débarque avec fougue sur la plage d'Omaha Beach pour établir une tête de pont.
Nos morts reposent parmi vous. Ils ont donné l'ultime mesure de leur dévouement. Dormez, camarades, à l'éternelle jeunesse. Nous vous saluons.

Souvenez-vous de nous.


The bronze plaque at the base of the marker reads:
