Bush dedicates D-Day Memorial in Bedford Virginia

President Bush dedicates the first D-Day Memorial in Bedford to honor the Normandy invasion and the 6,036 Americans killed or wounded. The $13.6 million granite memorial features a Higgins boat, a concrete beach, and a 44 foot arch marked with Overlord, honoring Bedford’s heavy WWII losses and local veterans.

Bedford memorial to World War II event attracts thousands weekly

Organizers plan a three story education center styled like a German bunker with a theater funded by Steven Spielberg donations. Mayor Mike Shelton anticipates 5,000 weekly visitors as the Memorial Foundation uses 71 school buses to shuttle crowds. Bedford’s population more than doubles during dedication as locals and students, including 13 year old PC Cunningham, engage with the history.
