D-Day Memorial Photos

This is the final installment of this week's focus on the 66th anniversary of D-Day.

Here are some photos from our recent visit to the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia. As I posted on Monday, our visit proved to be a moving experience. While our pictures tell part of the story and the Memorial's website is informative, this brief video that Tonya recorded



shows the centerpiece of the Memorial- a pool depicting a landing craft unloading soldiers as they begin their assault on the beaches of Normandy. Charges are randomly discharged in the pool, simulating gunfire from above. An experience we will long remember.
