Anniversary travel guide to D-Day
From February through August, exhibits and tours will hail the landing of Allied forces on the beaches of Normandy with due splendor and emotion. The anniversary symbolizes the freedom and communication between, not only Americans and the French but another 16 countries and the support of 28 others.
The tourism agency held a press event this past Wednesday at the Armory in New York City encouraging writers to emphasize the importance of this occasion. Events in France (especially Normandy) include a military vehicle parade, a concert for freedom, a cinema-theater show with battlefield tours, synchronized fireworks at 24 major landing sites along the coast, a military music festival and more.
