D-DAY AIRBORNE BOOKMARK

Honor the bravery of the WWII soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy with this detailed D‑Day Higgins Boat commemorative ornament. At dawn on June 6, 1944, troops landed under relentless fire, navigating obstacles such as wooden stakes, metal tripods, and barbed wire during what became the largest seaborne invasion in history. This ornament pays tribute to the essential role of the LCVP—known as the Higgins boat—designed by Andrew Higgins. More than 23,358 of these iconic craft were produced, and General Eisenhower famously remarked that Higgins was “the man who won the war for us,” acknowledging the boat’s crucial impact on the Allied victory.

Crafted from solid brass and electro‑plated with a non‑tarnishing silver finish, the ornament features a high‑quality giclée print capturing the historic amphibious landing. Packaged in an acetate sleeve with a provenance card, it is a meaningful keepsake for history enthusiasts, collectors, veterans, and patriotic displays.
