D-Day at 75 Celebration Event

Did you have a family member who was on active military duty for the Allies on June 6th, 1944 (not necessarily in Normandy)?

Britevents Northwest would like to honor them by reading their name out at the event (whether or not you are attending the Event). We will record the “Roll of Honor” announcement and you will be able to hear it on the website shortly after June 6th. We will also give you the OPTION to extend this honor by featuring their individual story of where they were on June 6th 1944 on this website at some point in the 75th year (to June 5th 2020) and also on our Facebook Page.

A chance to remember and celebrate “The greatest generation” before our memories fade! Britevents Northwest will be providing a FREE DRINK to all attending (subject to $10 maximum) in the section of the event devoted to toasts to all the different allied services involved in the D-Day landings.

We also have a section of the event where we will read out the “Roll of Honor” for family members of our attendees who were on active military service for the Allies on June 6th, 1944.

The Honoree Does Not Have To Have Participated In The D-Day Landings To Be Honored.

Other sections of the event are:

1. Attendees sharing their knowledge of D-Day through stories, photos, documents, books, and other media they are prepared to bring along.

2. 1944 “In the mood” music

3. Minute’s silence for the “Greatest generation”

Britevents Northwest has set up a devoted web page with more information about the event and a form to complete to have your family member’s wartime story read out at the event. We will be doing a sound or video recording of this section of the event. There is also an option to have their story published on the Britevents Northwest website and Facebook page.

The venue is kid friendly and up to 2 guests are allowed. The cut off date for RSVPs is June 5th at 6.30 pm.
