Band of Brothers Endorse Navy Normandy Monument
|
Tom Hanks, Actor/Director/Writer, "Band of Brothers" "Saving Private Ryan" "The peaceful world as we have known it for over half a century began in Normandy on June 6, 1944. The U.S. Navy helped deliver the material of liberty to UTAH at an extreme cost of thousands of lives. One cannot enjoy the former without understanding the latter. I support the Naval Order campaign to erect the long overdue memorial to what happened there not so long ago. I urge you to do the same, and to remember..." |

Monument at Normandy
(Model by sculptor Stephen Spears of Fairhope, Alabama)
The US Navy is the only military service that does not have a Memorial to the thousands of US sailors that participated, and the many who made the supreme sacrifice, in the liberation of Europe.
The Naval Order of the United States is leading the drive to erect a Monument to the U.S. Navy at 'Utah Beach' in Normandy, France commemorating the Navy's participation in the greatest amphibious invasion in history. The goal is to dedicate this Monument on 27 September 2008.
George Herbert Walker Bush
Former President of the United States and Naval Order Life Companion
"... I salute the Naval Order for taking on this "labor of love" to honor all those who were a part of that campaign and, most especially, those who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
"Good luck with your important and noble mission." (more)
