Omaha Beach Sector Commemorative Keepsake

Provenance

The story it carries

On June 6, 1944, American service members landed on Omaha Beach as part of the Allied invasion of Normandy. Among them were soldiers of the 29th Infantry Division. What happened there helped change the course of World War II, but its history is larger than any single date: it lives in the courage of those who served, the lives they carried with them, and the families who remember them still.

The keepsake is made from reclaimed Normandy elm remaining after a larger reclamation project. The wood was milled into smaller strips during that work, yet retains its documented provenance and connection to the historic site. Rather than let those pieces go unused, Forks + Fragments is giving them a purpose worthy of their story.

Created in recognition of America’s 250th anniversary, this edition is limited to exactly 250 individually numbered pieces. Each keepsake is engraved to order with “29th Infantry Division, Omaha Beach Sector, D-Day, 1944” and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

For a veteran, a military family, a student of history, or someone remembering a loved one, this is more than a display piece. It is an invitation to ask what happened, learn the names, and keep the story moving from one generation to the next.
