The Great Crusade at Home: Traveling to the Bedford D-Day Memorial

On June 6, 1944, the United States participated in the world’s most daring military operation in human history to begin the liberation of Europe from Nazi tyranny. While countless families sent their youngest and their brightest to participate in this invasion, no community felt the devastating effects of D-Day quick like the town of Bedford, Virginia. Today, you can find the National D-Day Memorial there and learn about the touching legacy of this town’s contribution to Operation Overlord.
