"Bloody Omaha Beach" by Marc van Rooijen.

"I made the painting during the period of the 60th Anniversary of D-Day. Unfortunately I couldn’t visit the Anniversary but I saw it on National TV. I was really impressed by the Celebrations and all the Veterans. I think these men are all heroes for what they did during the War and they have undergone such difficult, risk full and almost suicidal landings from men that weren't older than I am now (24). So I wanted to express my respect somehow and that I tried to accomplish by this painting".
