Omaha Beach is one of the five D-Day landing beaches. The site contains numerous remnants of this historical event, as well as many memorials. Among these is a German bunker that served as the initial headquarters for organizing traffic between the beach and the hinterland. The monument dedicated to the bunker commemorates the landing of the 2nd Infantry Division "Indian Head" on June 7th.

The D-Day Memorial commemorates the victims and heroes of the landing. It consists of memorial plaques, flags, and sculptures commemorating the soldiers and units involved. Particularly famous is the modern steel sculpture "Les Braves," which consists of three parts: "The Wings of Hope," "Rise, Freedom!", and "The Wings of Fraternity." They symbolize hope, freedom, and fraternity—the core values of the Allied mission.

The memorial commemorates Penobscot Native American Charles Norman Shay, who, as a 19-year-old medic, saved wounded soldiers on D-Day and thus made a decisive contribution to the success of the landing. Dedicated in 2017, the memorial consists of a bronze bust of Shay, a turtle sculpture, an information panel in English and French, and flagpoles of the United States, France, and the Penobscot Nation. The turtle symbolizes wisdom and longevity, central values of Indigenous culture. In addition to Shay, the memorial also honors the approximately 175 Indigenous soldiers who fought on D-Day.
