Remembrance

A Star of David marking the grave of a Jewish soldier, First Lieutenant Joseph J. Pugach, who died shortly after D-Day. The Normandy American Cemetery, Omaha Beach, Colleville-Sur-Mer.

 

I was surprised to find many Stars of David interspersed among the crosses that I had seen in most photographs.

 

Some information about Lieutenant Pugach can be found here:
