Last week’s BVA Happenings recounted the D-Day events of June 6, 1944, announcing a special ceremony via livestream at 11:00am Eastern Time this morning from the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia.

The National WWII Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana, known as The National D-Day Museum during its first four years of operation from 2000-04, changed its name and broadened its scope to now tell the story of the American experience in “the war that changed the world—why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today—so that all generations will understand the price of freedom and be inspired by what they learn.” 

The WWII Museum has been the focus of several news segments as the D-Day anniversary approached. View one such segment with Col. Peter Crean, U.S. Army (Ret), WWII Museum Vice President of Education and Access. The interview was aired this past Wednesday on WSAZ-3, Huntington/Charleston, West Virginia.
