Watch the Story of the Navy Heroes of Normandy
This movie is an emotional look at the aging men of World War II and the dedicated group of Navy Veterans who set out to make sure their sacrifice on June 6, 1944, would never be forgotten.
For over six decades, there was no Navy Memorial in Normandy honoring the men and women who gave their last full measure in the climactic World War II D-Day invasion at Normandy.
