00 km Marker, Liberty Route, Utah Beach

            This Liberty Route marker was erected in 1947.  The Liberty Route connects La Madeleine (Utah Beach) to Bastogne, 1142 kilometers away.

Utah Beach was the code name for the right flank, or westernmost, of the Allied landing beaches during the D-Day invasion of Normandy, as part of Operation Overlord on 6 June 1944. Utah was added to the invasion plan toward the end of the planning stages, when more landing craft became available.

Utah Beach, about 3 miles (5 km) long, was the westernmost of the five landing beaches, located between Pouppeville and the village of La Madeleine, which became the right flank anchor of the allied offensive along the left bank (western bank) of the Douve River estuary.

Despite being substantially off course, the US 4th Infantry Division (part of VII corps) landed with relatively little resistance, in contrast to Omaha Beach, where the fighting was fierce.
