Sculptor Stephen Spears is turning history into bronze with the first monument to the Navy's D-Day heroes at Normandy.
His three bronze figures of a Navy captain and two sailors will be installed on a bluff overlooking Utah Beach to remember the naval service's role in World War II's pivotal amphibious invasion, adding a new visual element to the landscape at the historic site.
"All the monuments at Normandy are stone pillars, obelisks or plaques," said retired Navy Capt. Greg Streeter of Jacksonville, Florida, chairman of the Navy D-Day Monument Project. "What we like most about our monument is that it is composed of representations of human figures that represent the officers and enlisted men that participated in the naval aspects of the Normandy invasion."
Spears' D-Day work will be dedicated September 27 above Utah Beach in Normandy
