Welcome to the official site of the National D-Day Memorial.
Located in Bedford, Virginia— the town suffering the highest per
capita D-Day losses in the nation. The National D-Day Memorial
honors the Allied forces that participated in the invasion of
Normandy on June 6, 1944 during World War II. With its stylized
English Garden, haunting invasion tableau, and striking Victory
Plaza, the Memorial stands as a powerful permanent tribute to
the valor, fidelity, and sacrifice of D-Day participants.
Surrounded by the beautiful majestic Blue Ridge mountains, this
makes for a solemn and respectful tribute for our fallen heroes.
Visitors can expect both an educational experience as well as an
emotional one, as they walk the grounds at the Memorial and
leave with a clear understanding of the scale and sacrifices
made during the largest amphibious landing the world has ever
seen. On June 6, 1944, 150,000 Allied troops landed along a
50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline to fight
Nazi Germany on the beach
