Normandy 10 Years After D-Day on Omaha Beach
Normandy marked ten years since D-Day with ceremonies across six sites. French crowds honored 49,493 Americans in St. Laurent Cemetery and those buried across France, while more than 25,000 heard remarks from President Rene Coty and U.S. Ambassador Lodge. Generals Layton, Collins, and Gerow attended, as did veterans and a 400-strong U.S. honor guard. A reminder from the crosses at St. Laurentius highlighted the cost with 26,547 American deaths in six days, and 18,000 casualties in the first 24 hours at Omaha. French locals spoke of friendship and loss, and veterans echoed the enduring memory of a unity forged on the beach.
