D-Day Operation Overlord Metal Sign – Made in America

Updated November 17: These are currently out of stock. Sign up on the form above to be notified when we get them back in stock.

Our original D-Day art is made in America and printed on aluminum, with a durable finish that will hold up outside as well as inside.

It comes drilled with a hole in the center top and center bottom, like a traditional sign you'd see along the road.

The sign itself only weights 7.8 ounces, so you have several different mounting options:

• Hang it: Use the existing top hole and hang it on a nail or small picture hanger.
• Mount it: Use the existing top and bottom holes to screw it or nail it to a post or wall.
• Put it up so it can be removed cleanly later: Use 3M Command strips (purchase separately) to avoid damaging the surface where you mount it.
• Put it up some place where you want to have it for a long time: Use the optional padded mounting squares and circles we offer. Caution: These are strong and cannot be removed later without some damage to painted and possibly other surfaces.
• Display it in a permanent location and really make it standout: Use standoffs to really make it "pop." If you use the existing hole at the top middle and bottom middle you will most likely have to make the hole a little larger. Alternatively, you can drill your own holes in the corners. Consider using the "rivets" in that we included in the design for placement of your screws. Obviously of all of the methods listed here, this is the most involved. It requites tools—and an understanding spouse helps.

Made in America.

Size: 12" x 18"

Our new D-Day Operation Overlord is packed with historical references.

The design shows different elements from several aspects of the landing:

• This design brings together several different elements from D-Day; it's not meant to be a photographic representation of one specific view or scene.
• While "D-Day" was a term used with all operations, not just the landing on Normandy Beach, I chose to use it here because it's become widely identified with this operation.
• "Operation Overlord" was the name of the entire operation to invade Northern Europe, not just the landing. It began on June 6 and ended on August 30, 1944.
• "Operation Neptune" was the name of the operation to transport and land men and materiel on the beach. It ended on June 30.

This design is also available in a women's v-neck shirt, a long-sleeved shirt, and a hooded sweatshirt.

A final note: Thanks to Larisa for the suggestion of a D-Day shirt back when we were coming up on the 75th anniversary. It became one of our most successful designs ever.

I had always wanted to create another design that took a different approach, and after the very positive response to our Battle of the Bulge design, I began work with the same designer to develop what you see here. Thanks to the folks who reviewed this design and provided feedback, and to everyone who has supported our WWII designs and told us how much they mean to them.
