Patriots Point to commemorate D-Day

On June 6, in honor of the 70th anniversary of D-Day, Patriots Point will be hosting a symposium that will feature speakers who served on board the USS LAFFEY during the Normandy invasion. Guests can also view a living history production as well as live entertainment.

Please join us on June 6, 2014, from 7-8:30 p.m. inside the USS YORKTOWN’S Smokey Stover Theater to hear old memories for USS LAFFEY Veterans. Admission is free and parking will be available for $5.

The USS LAFFEY, which is currently docked at Patriots Point, is one of the only two D-Day warships still in existence today.

“It’s an honor to have the USS LAFFEY at Patriot’s Point, and a great opportunity for people to come on board and meet veterans who served in one of the most important battles of U.S. history,” said Patriots Point Executive Director Mac Burdette. “The D-Day symposium will be very inspirational and will serve as a reminder of the sacrifice these men made 70 years ago.”
