Memorial Day-D Day Celebration

This holiday might be a good time to celebrate Bedford's sacrifice in WWII. More soldiers were lost as a percentage than any other town in the US. To honor their sacrifice, the National D Day Memorial was constructed here. On both May 23 and May 25, there will be special programs at the Memorial.
