    I'm embarrassed to say that I have never heard of this! And I'm a big WWII history fanatic. My son really enjoyed visiting the D-Day beaches when he went to France in high school. This is an impressively designed memorial. I've added the book to my reading list!

      Agreed. This memorial is so well done. It is a great way to remember those who sacrificed so much to defeat evil. It was extremely moving to take it all in when touring in person. Hopefully that came through well in the video. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

    Very moving memorial. I never knew this was in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This is a must visit.

      This was a very moving memorial. We first saw it about a decade ago and were just kind of silent while we were there in awe of the whole monument - and the courage and sacrifice of those who stormed the beaches at Normandy. Definitely check it out if you find yourself in the area. Thanks for watching and commenting!

      Agreed. This memorial is very well done. In addition to listing the names of those who died, it does such a good job of illustrating the events of the day so what happened can be understood for generations to come. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave such a kind comment!

    My dad was in WWII stationed in Germany. I never knew the torment he struggled with until after he passed. My dad never spoke to me about it ever. My brother said Dad was one of many who had to go to the gas chambers after the war. They wanted soldiers to understand how ruthless Hitler and his men were. It haunted Dad his entire life. Near the end of his life he suffered night terrors and became afraid of the dark. I never knew that until after he passed either. I was so clueless as to what he had faced because I just didn't know so I couldn't possibly understand. Memorial Day is so much more than what most of us could possibly understand. Amazing video and beautiful dedication to those who lived and died because of it.

    Normally, Kathy and I are peaceful people. Too often, war is senseless. But sadly, true evil sometimes does exist and sometimes it becomes necessary. This was one of those times. We loved seeing this beautiful memorial dedicated to those who tragically gave all or so much to the very existence of continuing freedom of the civilized world. We only wish we could say the entire world! What a beautiful part of our country to grow up in Alice! We've been to the area on the Blue Ridge Parkway several times and love it. Had we known the Memorial was nearby we would have visited. Thanks so much for bringing us along!

    I've watched a lot of videos from different parts of the United States, but this is the first time I've seen this memorial.
    You cannot remain indifferent in the face of this beautiful homage to those who, through their sacrifice, have contributed to making Europe what it is today.
    Happy is the nation that honors its heroes.👌👍

    This is such a well done video of The D-Day Memorial. We live in the area and have not been here. We always talk about going but have not. We were just talking the other day about going here. We really appreciate your thorough tour of the Memorial and the information provided. When you showed the Bedford Boys Statue it gave me chills. God Bless all who have served, who currently serve, and who gave all.

    What a great tour of this place, neat you grew up close to it 😃 Roosevelt's prayer was nice to see. The recreation beach invasion was neat how they set that up. It's nice to see places like this to honor our brave soldiers who risked there lives to save so many others. Very somber, but at least they show honor to those who gave so much! It was neat hearing why they have it in Bedford, sad that that town lost so much that day 😢 thanks again for a great tour! Great info the whole video!

Featured the top sights, great historical overview through narration, and very well edited and not a second was wasted! Thanks to this video, this place is officially on our list. Such a tragedy about those Bedford Boys. Can’t believe I have never heard about this monument.

    WOW! This memorial was quite the undertaking. It offers so much for the history and war buff. So many gorgeous and moving sculptures. That water feature with the boat and the sculptures seems to be quite the artistic depiction. This video was perfect for Memorial Day; especially with the wall of those lost. This will definitely be a place we will put on our stop list when in Bedford. That was interesting that Bedford was chosen because of the Bedford Boys. Yes, very powerful.
