Description

Veteran’s Day Program: Presented by Jim Craft, Local Historian June 6, 1944, is arguably the most important single day in western history for the past 2,000 years. Failure of the Normandy landings could have resulted in a very different world than we know today. As important as that single day was, however, D-Day did not end the Battle for France, much less the Second World War. Success on June 6 was just the beginning of the 11-week Battle of Normandy that ultimately resulted in the destruction of the German army in France and opened the door to the ultimate invasion and defeat of Germany. Come reflect on this important day of remembrance in this hour long PowerPoint presentation. Program held inside the Calf Barn, 1005 Van Hoosen Rd., Rochester Hills, MI Veterans & Museum Members – Free! $8/Non-Members Adult $5/Non-Member Senior The Museum provides local history exhibits and provides educational and cultural programs year round.
