"Normandie" autographed sign

DESCRIPTION EDITIONS SIGNERS Throughout history it was a storied region with fairytale charm and 350 miles of pristine coastline and beaches dotted with quaint medieval villages. But as of June 6, 1944, the French province of Normandy had become ground zero for the Allies “second front.” With the start of Operation Overlord on D-Day, nearly 160,000 allied troops stormed into Normandy and villages and towns that were previously little-known to foreigners became household names such as Sainte-Mère-Église, Carentan, and Caen. Our latest “Sites of Valor” sign pays tribute to the Allied soldiers who heroically fought through the villages and hedgerows of Normandy. Featuring hand-embellished weathering, each aluminum sign looks like it was pulled from a battle-ravaged seaside town that once welcomed tourists. And, most notably, each bears the signatures of Omaha Beach survivors Maj. Gen. John Raaen Jr. and MSgt. Charles Shay, who autographed the signs in Normandy! Whether you display you
