The country's National D-Day Memorial is in Bedford, Virginia, because of the loss.
One of the 35 Bedford Boys is Allen Huddleston, but he wasn't at D-Day because of an ankle injury during training. However, he did see action in Normandy later.
Sergeant Roy Steven and his twin brother Ray were in different boats at D-Day. The boats landed, but only Roy survived.
This year the town dedicated a new sculpture to their "Bedford Boys."
