Normandy Cemetery
At the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, French
caretakers take the sand from Omaha Beach and scrub them into
the letters to give them the brown/gold coloring as a method of
remembering the names as they often get washed out being
engraved into bright white stone. One user said the sand does
not last all too long, but it is more about the intent than the
result.
