Normandy American Cemetery, Colleville-sur-Mer

Just... wow

Exceptional in every way. The grounds are immaculate, the cemetery itself designed in such a way that it invokes calm and space to reflect. The guide we had was wonderful. The museum is easily one of the best I have ever experienced: they do an incredible job of threading the needle between informing you on a macro and logistical level, while simultaneously providing a human perspective, by including the minutiae of individual soldiers lives, experiences, and personal accounts. The combination leaves you truly stunned and allows you to feel the impact of a world war, something that is at times so abstract. My thanks and compliments to all and everyone whose hard work went into creating this space both past and present. We must never forget.

Like the German cemetery, it simply shows that war is not something you should glorify. It is good to remember the fallen, but I prefer the German way in La Cambe. The cemetery itself is organized in a very good way. Very clean. But for me it is to “bombastic”.

I've never been there but want to see it to pay my respects to the young men and women who are buried there, people who fell at Normandy and never came back to America!!

Amazing and beautiful cemetery and memorial. Must see when in France. Take some time and go through the visitor center first and go downstairs and read the history of the invasion. Go down to the beach and walk on the sand our young troops died on for freedom 🇺🇸
