D-day is a term used in military which means an operation is to be initiated. The most known D-Day was in June 6, 1944 on the beaches of Normandy which was codenamed Operation Neptune or better known as The Normandy Landings. It was the biggest seaborne invasion listed in history.
10,000 men were estimated to sacrifice their lives on this D-Day which also marked the defeat of Nazi after 11 months of the operation. To honor these men, two creative English artists, Jamie Wardley and Andy Moss, brought into existence the figures of the fallen soldiers imprinted in the sand along the beach.
This commemoration is just one of the things we do to honor our fallen soldiers and sympathize with their families. The freedom we have now is something we must cherish because along with it, are the lives of many brave people who battled for us to savor what we have now. Many wars are still ahead of us and we do not want to end up in a similar scenario someday. We must put an end to it and live in a world of harmony and love. We salute the 10,000 soldiers of D-Day!

60 volunteers along with 500 local residents joined in this memorable day. They patiently etched the figures on the sand.
Aerial view shows an ordinary beach with many sand prints.
But when looked closely, you will see amazing figures of men etched on sand.
Though these imprints will be washed away by the
waves, they will constantly remind the people the cost of the freedom they have
today.
