The beaches where Allied forces landed for the D-Day operation could be awarded UNESCO World Heritage Status. The sites in northern France played a pivotal role in ending the Second World War.
Plenty of plaques and fancy titles won't change what happened there, June. Still, I suppose it beats letting the places fall into ruin.
