D-DAY, 80 YEARS LATER
O n June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched Operation Overlord—the codename for the massive Allied invasion of Normandy, France—with nearly 160,000 troops. Ending with approximately 20,000 casualties on both sides, those who took part witnessed one of the most pivotal battles against Axis forces and the beginning of a prolonged, costly, and ultimately successful campaign to liberate northwest Europe.
The National WWII Museum is proud to commemorate the anniversary of D-Day, a day now known as the greatest amphibious landing in history, and explore the epic Battle of Normandy—80 years later.

About the 29th Infantry Division Band
The Virginia Army National Guard’s 29th Infantry Division Band, known as “The Governor’s Own,” is based out of Troutville, Virginia. With roots dating back to 1922 as the Band Section, Service Company, 116th Infantry, an element of the 29th Division (later redesignated as the 29th Infantry Division) in Roanoke, Virginia, this unit of dedicated soldier-musicians has left a mark in history and continued to thrive for more than 100 years.
In October 1943, the Band was inducted into federal service as part of the “Blue and Gray” 29th Infantry Division and in 1944 joined the assault at Omaha Beach on D-Day.
The Band’s campaign participation credit for World War II includes Normandy, Northern France, the Rhineland, and Central Europe. After being briefly deactivated, the Band resumed service in 1985 and was redesignated as the 29th Infantry Division Band in July 1986. The unit has since supported international missions in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kuwait as well as multiple D-Day anniversaries in Normandy. The unit’s unwavering dedication to their mission earned them the Army Superior Unit Award, 2015–17.
The 29th Infantry Division Band is composed of 40 enlisted soldiers and one chief warrant officer, operating under the command of Chief Warrant Officer Don Carlson and First Sergeant Jim Bradshaw. The unit supports dozens of missions annually, including military ceremonies and community events, especially at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia, allowing the 29th Infantry Division Band to regularly support missions honoring its predecessors. The soldier-musicians of the 29th Infantry Division Band are proud to carry on the tradition of bringing soldiers, communities, and countries together through the universal language of music.

Thursday, June 6 | 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
INTERACTIVE DISPLAYS IN LOUISIANA MEMORIAL PAVILION
Learn more about the American experience of D-Day with The National WWII Museum’s Living History Corps. Discover the stories of the men of the 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, who landed on Omaha Beach to liberate Fortress Europe. Hear about what they carried, how they fought, and what they saw that day from our team of living historians and their displays throughout the Museum’s campus.
About the 16th Infantry Regiment
On D-Day, the 16th Infantry Regiment was already full of veteran soldiers. The regiment landed in North Africa in 1942 and in Sicily in 1943. Despite taking hundreds of casualties on D-Day, after a brief respite, the 16th began moving inland with the rest of the Allied forces. The 16th Infantry Regiment continued to serve in combat until the end of December 1944 when they were pulled off the line for much-needed rest. Four days later, however, the Battle of the Bulge began, and the 16th was again sent to the front. By the end of the war, the 16th had spent 443 days in combat, costing the lives of 1,250 officers and men of the regiment.
DR. HAL BAUMGARTEN D-DAY COMMEMORATION CEREMONY
Thursday, June 6 | 11:00 a.m.
US FREEDOM PAVILION: THE BOEING CENTER
Presented in memory of D-Day veteran and Museum friend Dr. Harold “Hal” Baumgarten, this commemoration ceremony marks the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion with a solemn remembrance of the events of June 6, 1944.
PRIVATE HAL BAUMGARTEN’S D-DAY
Private Harold “Hal” Baumgarten, Company B, 116th Regiment, 29th Infantry Division, landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944, as part of the first wave of the assault force.
“I was wounded five times: three times on June 6, twice on June 7,” Baumgarten said in his harrowing Museum oral history. “Now you might say to yourself, ‘What kind of an idiot would keep fighting, being wounded?’ We were left with three options: stay there and die, give up the beach to the Germans, or fight wounded. We decided to fight wounded.”
Of the 30 men on Baumgarten’s landing craft on D-Day, 28 did not survive the invasion. In his oral history, he methodically includes their names and hometowns in his narrative. “I don’t want people to forget about them,” he said.
Baumgarten’s WWII service—for which he received a Purple Heart and two Bronze Stars, among other honors—inspired him to devote his life to “paying back,” first by becoming a teacher, then a physician. Baumgarten’s vow to honor the memories of the men who fell around him on D-Day was evident in scores of interviews, his own writing, countless speaking engagements around the world, and his dedication to The National WWII Museum.
Baumgarten credited Museum Founder Stephen E. Ambrose with encouraging him to write and speak about his war experiences. It was through the Ambrose connection that Baumgarten’s journey onto and across Omaha Beach reached its widest audience: At The National D-Day Museum’s June 6, 2000, opening ceremony, director Steven Spielberg told Baumgarten that Saving Private Ryan’s unforgettable beach combat scenes were drawn from the recorded interviews Ambrose had done with him. “He is the real thing,” said Saving Private Ryan star Tom Hanks.
Baumgarten died at age 91 on December 25, 2016. His memory lives on in his oral history and in the Museum’s annual D-Day commemoration ceremony.
