As twilight deepens and obscures the Blue Ridge, the Memorial will honor the 4,426 men killed on D-Day. Arranged throughout the memorial’s grounds, 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.
