Join Friends of the National World War II Memorial on Friday, June 6 at 10:00 a.m. for a solemn D-Day Commemoration Ceremony at the Circle of Remembrance, located just behind the Atlantic Arch at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.

We will gather in front of the bronze plaque engraved with President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s D-Day Prayer—the words he shared with the nation on the morning of the invasion—as we mark 81 years since Allied forces landed in Normandy and turned the tide of World War II.

As part of the program, World War II veterans will place wreaths at the plaque, remembering their fallen brothers and sisters.
