Its more than just one day of celebration...
While June 6th does mark the famous day when Allied troops arrived in Normandy, it is not the only day we honor the sacrifices endured during the Battle of Normandy. The Battle of Normandy lasted throughout the summer so there are celebrations through the Normandy area through August. D-Day Live will continue to cover these events so stay tuned!
