Lone Sailor Awards Program

The Lone Sailor statue will stand on a plaza at the UTAH Beach Museum, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean from where the US invasion force appeared on the morning of D-Day, June 6, 1944.  The plaza is open to the public, overlooks UTAH Beach, is well-kept by groundskeepers, has ample security, and looks out to sea – as a Lone Sailor should.

 Although people come and go from this statue, the Lone Sailor will continue to serve as a universal sign of respect towards all Sea Service personnel for generations to come. Each donor has the opportunity to build a legacy by helping the Navy Memorial execute its mission.

Fundraising efforts for the statue are still underway and being managed by the U.S. Navy Memorial. The memorial has a fundraising goal of $300,000 to cover the cost of casting, transporting, and placing the statue, along with corresponding ceremonies. 

By supporting the Normandy Lone Sailor Statue, you will ensure a legacy for generations to come!
