BEDFORD, VA - JUNE 06: A sculpture of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill is on display at the National D-Day Memorial June 6, 2009 in Bedford, Virginia. The memorial was dedicated in 2001 honoring American GIs who participated in the invasion of France at Normandy on June 6, 1944, during World War II. Bedford was chosen for the memorial site because the town lost nineteen men that day, all members of Company A, 29th Infantry Division. It was the largest per capita loss of any town in America on that day. Four more Bedford soldiers died in later battles. Getty Images logo Getty Images 5 months ago
