The
National
D-Day
Memorial
is
a
war
memorial
located
in
Bedford,
Virginia.
It
serves
as
the
national
memorial
for
American
D-Day
veterans.
However,
its
scope
is
international
in
that
it
states,
"In
Tribute
to
the
valor,
fidelity
and
sacrifice
of
Allied
Forces
on
D-Day,
June
6,
1944"
and
commends
all
Allied
Armed
Forces
during
the
D-Day
invasion
of
Normandy,
France
on
June
6,
1944
during
World
War
II.
The
memorial,
bordering
the
Blue
Ridge
Mountains
in
southwestern
Virginia,
is
an
area
of
over
50
acres
that
overlooks
the
town
of
Bedford.
It
officially
opened
on
June
6,
2001
with
15,000
people
present,
including
then-President
George
W.
Bush.
About
60,000
people
have
visited
the
memorial
each
year.
Of
those,
more
than
half
are
from
outside
of
Virginia.
Great
history
lesson
and
well
worth
the
time
to
check
out.
The
staff
is
great.
