Tombe con nome
Il cimitero è collocato su una scogliera sovrastante Omaha Beach (una delle cinque spiagge dello sbarco in Normandia). Copre una superficie di 70 ettari e contiene le spoglie di 9387 soldati americani, 307 dei quali ignoti e 4 di sesso femminile, per la grande maggioranza deceduti durante lo sbarco o le operazioni belliche successive. Tuttavia i militari qui sepolti rappresentano solo una parte dei caduti, dal momento che circa 14000 di essi sono stati rimpatriati per volere delle famiglie.
------------------------------------
The cemetery is located on a cliff above Omaha Beach (one of the five Normandy landing beaches). It covers an area of 70 hectares and contains the remains of 9387 American soldiers, 307 of whom are unknown and 4 female, the vast majority of whom died during the landing or subsequent war operations. However, the soldiers buried here represent only a fraction of the fallen, since about 14,000 of them were repatriated at the behest of their families.
