'Iron Mike' memorial to American airborne troops near Utah Beach overlooks the flooded marais in the Cotentin peninsula.
From Barack Obama's inauguration speech:
'For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn. Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.'
