The US Naval Combat Demolition Units Scouts & Raiders Monument Park
Omaha Beach, Normandy, France
The genesis and purpose of this striking Monument is summarized by two words: courage and sacrifice.
One of the most compelling chapters in the history of Navy SEALs was written in blood on the beaches of Normandy by the men of the Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDU) and Scouts & Raiders (S&R) on June 6, 1944. This Monument will honor their legacy of courage under fire despite taking extremely heavy losses.
The US Naval Combat Demolition Units/Scouts & Raiders Monument will provide a clear understanding of the events of D-Day and the vital contributions made by the NCDUs and S7rs to the success of the Normandy landings and subsequent liberation of France. Their courage and sacrifice will be the theme of the Monument.
“Courage is rightly considered the foremost of virtues, for upon it, all others depend.” Winston Churchill
