In the opening hours of the D-Day invasion, the small town of Bedford, Va., lost 19 National Guard soldiers.
Bedford, located below the Blue Ridge Mountains, suffered the greatest proportion of losses of any municipality in the United States. The town soon became a national symbol of sacrifice during World War II.

Highly recommend a visit to Bedford Virginia and this memorial. We went there about five years ago. Unforgettable.
