Omaha Beach is now a popular tourist attraction for anyone around the world, with dozens of D-Day memorials and cemeteries where you can pay your respects. Also, when you go, you will receive a better understanding of the terrain and an overall clearer idea about what actually happened on June 6, 1944. At the cemetery, every day, at 4:30, tourists and visitors can watch the ceremony of the Lowering of the Colors, where the American Flag is lowered and folded. It is one of the most popular ceremonies in all of France.

What does D-Day stand for?
D-Day actually does not stand for anything. It is just a code name given to the day the Normandy Landings occurred by the Allies. There is actually something called H-Hour, which is the same thing, except instead of the day something happened, it's the hour something happened. Lastly, the military today also uses these terms today.
