Join us to mark the 81st anniversary of the Normandy landings and the 25th anniversary of The National WWII Museum. Presented in memory of D-Day veteran and Museum friend Dr. Harold “Hal” Baumgarten, The National WWII Museum’s annual D-Day commemoration remembers the men who landed on the beaches in Normandy on June 6, 1944.
In tribute to the 25th anniversary of the Museum’s grand opening, learn more about how D-Day and the war influenced the growth and evolution of The National D-Day Museum to The National WWII Museum, as well as the Museum’s future plans to ensure that the impact of its mission continues to grow.
The Dr. Hal Baumgarten D-Day Commemoration Endowment, made possible by the generous gift of Karen and Leopold Sher, ensures that Dr. Baumgarten’s legacy will live on in perpetuity and helps the Museum fulfill its mission to educate future generations about the events of World War II and its lasting impacts.
