Charles Bergen Studios is designed five-flag-sized waterjet cut bronze waymarking signs that direct visitors to the five invasion beaches—Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword Beach. The sculptural works are part artifact, part signage, and part art. With a bronze patina to match the three figurative sculptures at the Memorial itself these signs both direct visitors to the five invasion beaches as well as tell the story of what happened on each beach on D-Day.
