TAPS is played daily @ 1630. A humbling experience for any human to take in. It's hard not to walk these hallowed grounds and get teary eyed. Visit an unknown and give his gravestone a hug.

without words, you can try to imagine how was this massacre but you can't... you can find the memorial of 2 sons of president Roosevelt and the famous time capsule in the end of the road at left hand.

It’s surely different from the usual cemeteries . The thousands and thousands white crosses give you perspective about how many people died in the war.

Cees Pille

Impressive cemetery ! My deepest respect for those brave men who gave their lives for our freedom . The view on Omaha beach is beautiful.

Thomas Caryn

You can find the Private Ryan's brothers on: Square "F" - Line 15 - Cross 11 & 12. Their real names are Preston & Robert NILAND (and not RYAN).

Leave plenty of time this part of your trip to Normandy. The Memorial is outstanding, and you'll want to enjoy every bit of it.

D-Day Museum . Free parking . Bring the kids n teach them something about sacrifice n duty.

The cemetery has a wonderful museum that you should make time for. Not only informative, but very moving.

Impressive and superclean cemetery . American security is overacted though. Nice view on beaches . Bring warm clothes because of heavy winds.

It is okay to get emotional here. The men (and 3 women) buried here gave everything for what we hold dear.

Walter Barry

If you're American, ask the US onsite manager if your children can participate in the 5:15 pm changing of the flags. A real honor.

Dirk Klose

A must see! Strange but historical...????

Charles Fineberg

9,387 dead from WWII, 1 dead from WWI (the 2nd Roosevelt 's brother). Details like that from Eva Ruttger's tour !

Impressionante ver a tranquilidade de um lugar com uma história tão pesada, aqui foi onde a Europa recuperou a liberdade, obrigado a todos os que participaram no desembarque. - Luis Candeias
