May 30, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
To commemorate Memorial Day, speaker Dave Carey, a retired Navy captain, Vietnam veteran and former prisoner of war, will inspire audience members with his story. Carey’s aircraft was destroyed while flying a combat mission over North Vietnam. He spent the following five and a half years as a POW incarcerated in Vietnamese prisons. His experiences taught him timeless lessons that are applicable to everyone. His book, The Ways We Choose, Lessons for Life from a POW’s Experience, will be available and a book-signing will be held after the ceremony. The Memorial Day program begins at 11 a.m. and admission fees are waived until 12 noon. Please bring a chair. No coolers or pets, except service animals.
Destination Bedford offers big, bold and unforgettable experiences. You’ll see stunning beauty in the Blue Ridge Mountains and hear stories of bravery that will take your breath away at the National D-Day Memorial.
