D-Day: A Journey from England to France

In June 2019, five groups of Smithsonian Journeys travelers attended events in England and Normandy that commemorated the 75th anniversary of D-Day, or Operation Overlord. Photography taken by Smithsonian Journeys staff member Sharon Boyle captured some of the poignant scenes and events of the anniversary as well as the camaraderie of our travelers and the people they met. Thinking ahead to 2021, you, too, can make a pilgrimage to Normandy to commemorate the soldiers who participated in Operation Overlord, gain new insight from a Smithsonian Journeys Expert, and share family stories about that herculean event. (Smithsonian Journeys sponsors two cruises and one tour that feature time at some of these sites, as well as the special military tour D-Day: A Journey from England to France.)
