Honoring the Legacy of D-Day and WWII Veterans.
As the world reflects on the 79th anniversary of D-Day, experts say it's critical to honor the legacies of WWII veterans and preserve history by passing on their stories. The National D-Day Memorial Foundation maintains the most complete name-by-name listing in the world of Allied service members who died on June 6, 1944. The foundation also undertakes the difficult research of confirming the names of those who died on D-Day. As the foundation looks toward the 80th commemoration of D-Day next year, the research and education continue.
