Building a Citizen-Soldier U.S. Army | 80th Anniversary of D-Day Cruise

The National WWII Museum commemorated the 80th Anniversary of D-Day with this series of presentations recorded during a cruise aboard the Seabourn Ovation. This journey, which set sail from Hamburg on May 29, 2024, honored the men and women who liberated Europe. With a custom itinerary emphasizing the pivotal land, sea, and air campaigns of World War II, we visited significant historical sites including Amsterdam, East Anglia, Dunkirk, and Normandy. The voyage featured lectures from esteemed historians such as Gordon H. "Nick" Mueller, Donald L. Miller, Alexandra Richie, John McManus, and Keith Lowe.
