80th Anniversary of D-Day: A Commemoration of Courage and Sacrifice

A National Event of Remembrance

In 2024, Normandy will host a series of events to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. This historic occasion will bring together world leaders, veterans, and civilians to honor the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for freedom during World War II.

A Legacy of Valor

The Normandy landings, codenamed Operation Overlord, took place on June 6, 1944. Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, in a daring amphibious assault that marked the beginning of the liberation of Europe from Nazi occupation. The battle was a pivotal moment in the war, and its legacy continues to inspire generations today.

The 80th anniversary commemoration will feature a variety of events, including:

• Official ceremonies at the Normandy Victory Museum
• Reenactments of the landings
• Exhibitions of military artifacts and historical documents
• Parades and other public events

These events will provide an opportunity to reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those who fought in D-Day and to celebrate the freedom that their victory brought to the world.
