D-Day: An 80-year Retrospective

D-Day: An 80-year Retrospective In-Person

2024 marks the 80th anniversary of Operation Overlord—the amphibious invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. This presentation focuses on the invasion of both Utah Beach and Omaha Beach as well as the cliffs of Pointe-du-Hoc; furthermore, the talk will focus on the American cemetery at Colleville sur Mer

Our speaker is Phil Devlin, a former award-winning teacher in Regional District 17 (Haddam-Killingworth), where he taught English, History and Latin. Phil, whose father was stationed in Normandy, has visited the beaches twice.

Registration is suggested.
