Bedford Virginia is a place full of history. This weekend, April 10th and 11th, you can experience living history as the National D-Day Memorial Foundation presents Prelude to Invasion. Historical interpreters and the 29th Living History Association will be enacting what life was like for American servicemen as they prepared for D-day.
On Saturday the event will run from 10am until 5pm. They will be recreating a World War II encampment. Included in the re-enactment will be military vehicles, military gear, and other period vehicles. You can feel the morale of the men as they prepared for war.
Sunday you can experience a Soldiers Worship Service at 10am. Faith played a big role for many of our men and women in uniform. The 29th Living History Association will conduct a field service similar to the ones that were held as the men waited to begin the invasion of Normandy.
If you have always wanted to know more about military life during World War II, you don't want to miss this event. Come out and honor the men and women who have served our country in times past. You can also be a part of the Flames of Memory Luminary project by purchasing a luminary to be displayed on June 6th.
