Welcome to the official home of the
D-Day Memorial Parade
On June 6, 1944, Allied forces crossed the English Channel and landed on the beaches of Normandy, France in a massive offensive to liberate Western Europe from the occupation of Nazi Germany. With 176,000 troops arriving by landing craft and ships, as well as nearly 14,000 aircraft, the Allied forces were able to secure Northern France within three months despite a vicious effort by Nazi forces. Thousands of American and Allied lives were lost but not in vain as this Invasion of German occupied France lead to Victory and restored Liberty.
The objective of the D-Day Memorial Parade and Allied Musical Salute to the Veterans is to honor our WWII Veterans for their service and sacrifice to our nation and the preservation of freedom and liberty around the world. We invite all to remember and learn of our past while joining together to celebrate that once bitter enemies can become friends and allies, as is the case today with the United States and Germany.
Our ceremonies will take place at the American Cemeteries in Brittany and Normandy, and the D-Day Memorial Parade and Allied Musical Salute are held each year in Sainte-Mère-Église in Normandy, France in commemoration of the anniversary of D-Day.
