Distinguished Speakers Series with Keith Rocco, Dr. John C. McManus, & Kevin Hymel

To celebrate the opening of the D-Day, Omaha Beach Traveling Exhibit at the National D-Day Memorial, join creative designer Keith Rocco and award-winning authors Dr. John C. McManus and Kevin Hymel, who collaborated on the exhibit, for a panel discussion on how this project developed and why it is so important today. Vividly recreating the assault at Normandy, the D-Day, Omaha Beach Traveling Exhibit, will be featured in the Fleda A. Ring Education Quonset hut August 13-December 31. The exhibit is an immersive, educational experience that honors the sacrifices of those who fought on D-Day while preserving the memory of this pivotal day. Created by Tradition Studios, the display is a multi-media exhibit; combining highly detailed miniature dioramas, full-sized uniformed mannequins, two-dimensional artwork, interpretative panels, and a short film. A book signing with the panelists will follow the discussion. Books will be available in the Memorial gift shop. Ticket purchase required. Admission for WWII veterans, active-duty military, and children under 6 is free at the gate. Click here to purchase tickets.
