As twilight deepens and obscures the Blue Ridge, the Memorial will honor the 4,413 men killed on D-Day. Arranged throughout the monument, thousands of luminaries will shine in recognition of Overlord’s fallen and in tribute to the ultimate sacrifice each made to relight the lamp of freedom. Luminaries are sold throughout the year and may be purchased in honor or in memory of anyone who has served. A printed program will be distributed during the event and will include the tributes. Call (540) 586-3329 for more information or email giving@dday.org.
