History with a capital H does not read like a novel. It was not written by a single person, but by a multitude of actors, each at his or her own level contributing to the edifice.

The Mémoire & Database website aims to honour these men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice by offering their lives for our freedom.

History may represent the past, but that past has determined who we are today.

Let us never forget that if we are able to enjoy this magnificent wealth of FREEDOM today, it is largely thanks to them.

Our aim in creating this site is to tell their story and to try to give a face to those who lie beneath the crosses or are inscribed on the Walls of the Missing in Normandy's American cemeteries.

They were sons, fathers, husbands, fiancés, far from their native land, and they never returned.

Sometimes we are lucky enough to meet their families. Each time, it is a very special experience.

Through our portraits, we hope that visitors to these cemeteries will feel that these heroes are familiar to them.

Our aim is to never forget them.
