National D-Day Memorial

It is a huge memorial park, giving you plenty of room to walk around silently observing without being disturb. It is gorgeous and solemn and makes you understand the depth of sacrifice made on D-Day.

There's loads of diagrams all around the 88-acre memorial. Definitely plan on spending at least an entire afternoon, if not a day there. And be respectful. In the center of the memorial there's a recreation of an invasion beach, where there's a landing craft complete with an open ramp and water explodes randomly to simulate mortar fire.

This memorial is gorgeous and moving. I highly recommend taking time to see this memorial. It was very educational, very spread out and quiet.

This is a must do if you’re in the area. Recommend taking a tour so you can understand all that is there.

Impressive and awe inspiring memorial to the many lives lost as well as those who fought and lived through D-day to continue the fight to end the war. Leaves you with a deep sense of gratitude for all that we have living in this country today.

Great stop to get out and stretch your legs. The memorial is a great reminder of what our young men and women endured. Lots of information on D-Day and operation overload.

This is a great memorial of those who served in WWII. Especially those on D-Day. Our tour guide had lots of stories to share about how this memorial came to be. We took our children. They had read about WWII but this amazing memorial brought it to life for them. It was extra special to get to be here since my husband's grandpa jumped on D-Day.
