Near the center of Omaha Beach there is this unusual monument to the Americans who liberated France. Known as "Les Braves", the sculptor was Anilore Banon. There are three elements: 1) The Wings of Hope, so that the spirit which carried these men on 6th June 1944, continues to inspire us, reminding us that together it is always possible to change the future. 2) The Rise of Freedom - so that the example of those who rose up against barbarity, helps us remain standing strong against all forms on inhumanity. 3) The Wings of Fraternity - so that the surge of brotherhood always reminds of our responsibility towards others as well as ourselves. |
