The eyes of the world are upon you. Sainte Mère Église

As a monument to the Pathfinders of the 82nd Airborne, the people of Sainte Mère Église left this effigy of Private John Steele hanging on the same spire his parachute caught on while he parachuted into the town on 6 June at 0214.

The Airborne Museum is now built on the site where the house fire occurred in the early hours of D-Day. (John Steele monument in the background)

Sainte Mère Église was the first French town liberated by Allied Forces and
the first American cemetery was located just outside the town center until
it was relocated a few years later.
