The memorial monument to the paratroopers of D-Day
The Memorial Park proudly stands on a hill overlooking the Merderet marsh on the road D 15 leading to Picauville, 3 km from Sainte-Mère-Eglise.
This memorial is dedicated to the memory of the soldiers of the American airborne troops. Many soldiers died in the area during the airdrops or in the following battles fought for the control of bridges and the road leading to the other bank. Within the park is a statue of American soldier Iron Mike, a replica of Fort Bragg in the United States and a viewpoint indicator.
