On today’s 67^th anniversary of the June 6, 1944 Allied invasion at Normandy Beach, Senator Warner marked the tremendous sacrifice of the residents of the Virginia town of Bedford.  Thirty-two of Bedford’s young men were among the first on the beach in the early hours of the Normandy invasion, and only 11 of them made it home – the largest per capita casualties of any American community.

That’s why Bedford is home to the National D-Day Memorial, and that’s why Senator Warner has been urging the National Park Service to agree to take over operation of the Memorial. He talked about it today with WSET’s Noreen Turyn.
