MEDIA

The 65th Anniversary of the Normandy Landings received a lot of attention from the media after the initial controversy over the British Government’s refusal to offer funds. At that time it was widely understood that the NVA (Normandy Veterans Association) would stand down after 65th Anniversary which also increased press interest. Indeed, many of our veterans were featured in newspaper articles and on television, becoming celebrities for the weekend!
