Bringing history to life D-Day: The Invasion of Normandy and Liberation of France Spring and Fall 2020 Normandy Beaches • Arromanches • Sainte-Mère-Église Bayeux • Caen • Pointe du Hoc • Falaise NORMANDY CHANGES YOU FOREVER Dear Friend of the Museum, One of the most inspiring moments during my 17 years with the Museum was visiting Omaha Beach in 2005 with WWII veteran Dr. Hal Baumgarten, who landed there with the 116th Infantry Regiment as part of the first wave on D-Day and was wounded five times in just 32 hours. Nothing can match learning about the Normandy landings as you visit the very places where these events unfolded and hear the words of those who fought there. The story of D-Day and the Allied invasion of Normandy have been at the heart of this Museum since we first opened our doors on June 6, 2000, and while our mission has expanded to cover the entire American experience in World War II, we still hold our Normandy travel programs in special regard—and consider them the very best in the market. Drawing on our historical expertise and extensive archival collection, the Museum’s highly regarded D-Day tours take visitors back to June 6, 1944, through a memorable journey from Pegasus Bridge and Sainte-Mère-Église to Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc. Along the way, you’ll learn the timeless stories of those who sacrificed so much to pull off the greatest amphibious attack in history and ultimately secure the freedom we enjoy today.
