Normandy American cemetery near Colleville sur Mer: 9,387 American military dead

Jon Henley in Colleville-sur-Mer The Guardian, Monday 7 June 2004 Yesterday George Bush and Jacques Chirac, apparently determined to set aside their differences over a more recent invasion, paid tribute to the dead of Omaha beach in the first of the official bi-national ceremonies of the 60th anniversary day. Mr Chirac said the French would forever remain grateful to America. "France will never forget," Mr Chirac said. "It will never forget those men who made the supreme sacrifice to liberate our soil, our native land, our continent, from the yoke of Nazi barbarity and its murderous folly. Nor will it ever forget its debt to America, its everlasting friend."
