Today marks the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day invasion when 12 countries and more than 150,000 personnel joined together for what would be the largest amphibious invasion in military history.

The National D-Day Memorial, located in Bedford, VA, just hours from the Memorial and Museum, is dedicated to "preserving the lessons and legacy of D-Day" and by doing so "ensures the integrity and security of our nation’s memorial to the valor, fidelity, and sacrifice of the Allied Forces on D-Day, 6 June 1944."
