Landing on the beaches of Normandy...the Allied Forces of England, Canada, France, the United States, and maybe a few other country's armies...all started the effort to take back the Nazi's hold on Europe.
Many men died on June 6, 1944.
I haven't got time to look up the details, which are available.
I just wanted to honor all those brave young men who waded ashore and some of them managed to live through the day...and then fight the Nazis.
Much gratitude!
The 9000 who never made it home”. Project dedicated to those who died in the D-Day Landings which happened on this day in 1944.
The 9000 Who Never Made It Home was a haunting, large-scale art installation created on the beaches of Normandy in 2013 to mark International Peace Day and honor those who died during the D-Day landings.
British artists Jamie Wardley and Andy Moss, along with a team of over 500 volunteers, used stencils and rakes to etch 9,000 human silhouettes into the sand of Arromanches beach, each figure representing a soldier or civilian who lost their life on June 6, 1944.
The artwork was intentionally temporary. Within hours, the sea swept away the silhouettes, symbolizing the fragility of life and the waves of time that continue to erase even the most powerful memories
