Due to the pandemic, we cannot hold 2020 services on Memorial Day (25 May) or D-Day (6 June) at the Normandy American Cemetery. Instead, we have made a gift to Fondation Charles Nicolle to support Normandy care workers in honor of the Americans fallen on French battlefields.

The memory lives on! Last year, Democrats Abroad France laid a wreath at the Normandy American Cemetery to commemorate the 75^th anniversary of the D-Day landings and the Battle of Normandy and to pay tribute to the brothers in arms (almost 11 000) buried and remembered there.
