Visit the D-Day memorial in Bedford, VA.
The theme of it is the invasion of Normandy, especially Omaha Beach, and it is a very moving and beautiful place.
Several boys from Bedford were in the first boats that hit Omaha Beach. Needless to say the town lost many of its young men on June 6.
Also the Bedford area is very beautiful, not far from Skyline Drive.
