Navy D-Day Monument Dedicated
After more than 64 years and a half million dollars, on 27 September the U.S. Navy finally dedicated a monument that pays proper tribute to the service's vital yet generally unheralded role at the beginning of the Allies' World War II liberation of northwestern Europe. The monument is located on Utah Beach, near Sainte Marie du Mont, France, where Navy craft first landed troops early on D-Day, 6 June 1944.
