June 6, 1944, brought together land, air, and sea forces of the Allied armies in one of the largest invasions in human history. When we think about that day, we typically consider the beach landings at Normandy, France, and the ensuing land battle. On this anniversary day, we remember the role of the Navy and reflect on their efforts to deliver victory and, ultimately, the beginning of the end of WWII.

The Museum invites you to join us for an in-person discussion and commemoration of the 79th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Europe.  The event and commemoration will be led by historian Joe Balkoski and will feature a brief presentation by Joe to discuss the role the U.S. Navy played during D-Day. Following the presentation, participants are invited to participate in a commemoration of the event in front of the USS Constitution Museum at the head of Dry Dock #1.
