There is even one here in the UK, a Sherman Tank at Torrcross Cornwall; which I believe is a memorial to the American soldiers who drowned when they were attacked by a German U or E boat off the Cornish coast while practising for the Normandy landings.
I understand that the beaches are very similar in nature, which is why they chose it.
