American Cemetery : 9 386 graves
=================================
Location:Colleville/Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer
-----------------------------------------
After four years work, Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer cemetery was inaugurated in 1956. It overlooks the beaches of Omaha, and all is designed to make emotion overwhelm the visitor : the long central view, the memorial with a huge map of the battle, the "Garden of missing" where are registered the names of 1 557 missing soldiers, and the ten squares of perfectly lined up steles of 9 386 American soldiers, including 4 women.

Situation : on the waterfront between Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer and Colleville-sur-Mer (follow the road-sign)
