The Roanoke Valley chapter of the International Plastic Modelers Society will present “World War II in Miniature,” a one-of-a-kind display featuring miniature World War II model planes, tanks, ships, jeeps, historic figures, and more. Vote for your favorite model for $1, with proceeds to benefit the Memorial. The winning model receives the People’s Choice Award! Younger visitors can create miniature WWII vehicles using LEGO bricks. Regular admission fees apply.

Though the Town of Bedford, VA’s annual fireworks display is launched from the National D-Day Memorial grounds, the Memorial is not a public viewing location. On Wednesday, July 3, 2024, the Memorial will close to the public at 5PM.
