Memorial at the Juno Beach Centre in Courseulles-sur-Mer, France
Plenty of visitors to Courseulles-sur-Mer on the Normandy coast come for the sand, sun, and surf. But many also travel to the French village to visit the Juno Beach Centre, a museum and memorial honoring the lives of Canadian enlisted personnel who stormed Juno Beach on this day in 1944, with other Allied forces landing at four additional beaches, in what remains the largest seaborne invasion in history. Their efforts helped the Allies wrest control of Western Europe from Nazi occupiers.
