D-Day Memorial - Flames of Memory and Christmas in Wartime Presentation

The National D-Day Memorial will once again launch its “Flames of Memory” project in 2012. As twilight deepens and obscures the Blue Ridge, the Memorial will honor the 4,413 men killed on D-Day. The “Flames” are luminaries, several thousand of which will be placed along the Memorial Wall and along the road leading up to the Memorial. A spectacular array of lights will shine Dec. 15 through Dec. 16 in tribute to the D-Day fallen as well as others who have served our country. Each luminary costs $20 or 6 for $100; all gifts are tax-deductible and all proceeds benefit National D-Day Memorial operations and other programming at the Memorial. Luminaries can be purchased in honor or memory of anyone, D-Day veteran or not, and businesses or organizations are welcome to purchase quantities. Please call 540-586-3329 for more information.
