The liberation of Isigny was a critical allied objective in Normandy that would help forge a link between the american beachheads of Utah and Omaha. The people of France and the United States will always share a love of liberty, and the sacrifices and triumphs of our citizens in 1944 will bind our two countries together for ever.
