Soldiers Stenciled Into Sand for 80th Anniversary of D-Day
This art project on a beach in England isn't about building the best sand sculpture. Instead, it's meant to remember those who lost their lives storming a beach to defeat the Nazis in World War II. Eighty soldiers were stenciled into the sand to honor the sacrifices made so long ago. D-Day was the day 150,000 allied soldiers invaded Normandy, France, which was occupied by Nazi Germany in 1944. Inside Edition Digital's Mara Montalbano has more.

Utah and Juno were in a way easy compared to the rest as German resistance were light and fewer. Gold and Sword were challenging, but Omaha was FUBAR.

Even fewer people know how tough it was for the following two months or so as the fighting moved inland, with the Americans struggling against the bocage terrain and the British and Canadians struggling against the German panzer divisions. A lurking Tiger or Panther tank was nightmare fuel.

What a beautiful tribute! I work at Walmart in Texas. I was able to meet a veteran that actually was one of these men that stormed these beaches! You only had to be 16 w/folks permission to enlist then.

They truly were the greatest generation to have ever lived, may God bless every single one of them.
Rest in peace and thank you.

Oh, my. What a moving tribute. My father fought in Europe in WWII. Many of my uncles did, too, and some never returned home. Thank you, gentlemen. Here in America, where the mainland never saw an invasion and people didn’t know about the U-boats lurking off the coast, so much has been forgotten and even more people just don’t care. We should always care. In the rising of the sun and in it’s going down, we remember them.
We owe these brave men our entire existence
The symbolism is the waves is really clever and meaningful
We will never forget The Greatest Generation
Amazing to think it’s been 80 years since that bloody day. And I know of at least one woman was there on the beach (not sure which one) and that was Martha Gellhorn who snuck off with medics, was a stretcher bearer. Another group was there but over a month later.
Brave men. Lest we forget.
Every soldier is human

See!!!!! Art doesnt have to suck!!!!!!
I am not sure if it was at this specific shore. But i am going to say it anyway. Thank you for honoring the men who fought at this beach. Including my great uncle who died saving his comrades but got eaten by a shark while doing so during world war 2.

People dont realize the fear D-Day brought to the soldiers. I mean just imagine playing the same Minecraft world for 20 years 27/7 (representing your life) on hardcore and then one day it just might be taken away from you. If you’ve ever lost a hardcore world u know how bad that’d feel. Now imagine that happening to 150 000 people. And imagine all the dogs u tamed be left alone forever.
I wish more people from my generation (Gen Z) cared about those who sacrificed their lives during D-Day and WW2

0:34 It was just guys on D-day. Women didn't fight in the British Army in WW2. They were only in support roles and not on the battlefield. I'm guessing he just misspoke, since it's normal to says guys and girls in reference to the modern British army as women serving in the army is now normalised.
