As twilight deepens and obscures the Blue Ridge, the Memorial will honor the 4,400 men killed on D-Day. Arranged throughout Elmon T. Gray Plaza, thousands of luminarias 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 will be displayed on December 15-16 from 6:00PM to 10:00PM each night. Admission is free but Donations are appreciated
