The Grafton Memorial will replicate the WWII landing by the U.S. Army Rangers on Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, France, on June 6, 1944. In addition to bronze figures climbing the cliffs behind Grafton’s Visitor Center, a military museum and memorial plaza are planned.
The memorial in Grafton will depict life-size sculptures of U.S. Army Rangers scaling the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc, an important turning point on D-Day.
