The 12th-15th century church in Sainte-Mère-Église. The image depicts the replica parachute representing American paratrooper John Steele, who famously hung from the church tower for three hours during the D-Day invasion on the night of June 5-6, 1944. A stained-glass window above the portal commemorates the Liberation.
