Popular places to visit

The National D-Day Memorial is an awe-inspiring tribute to the D-Day Invasion, the largest amphibious military landing the world has ever seen. Bedford, Virginia, was chosen as the location of the memorial because the community of Bedford suffered the highest per-capita D-Day losses in the nation. The memorial is spread over 88 acres and is divided into patterns which represent the various stages or aspects of the invasion. The centerpiece of the memorial is the Victory Plaza arch, which can be seen for miles. The arch contains a single word, Overlord, referring to Operation Overlord, the code name of the Battle of Normandy. The arch is crowned with five chiseled elements designed to resemble the roofs of houses seen by airborne troops as they passed over the Normandy countryside on the eve of D-Day. The chiseled elements are painted in a black and white pattern, just like the stripes painted on the wings of Allied aircraft.
