The memorial opened in 2017 and since then, U.S. Army generals have made a point of visiting during D-Day ceremonies. You can see why Omaha was the toughest beach. The memorial is public domain so no property release was needed. Since 2007, he’s made annual D-Day pilgrimages to the Normandy American Cemetery, where 9,388 war dead are buried.
