National D-Day Memorial. A national memorial that provides a place of reverence and solemnity honoring those who sacrificed so much on D-Day. Bedford lost 21 of its young men on D-Day, the highest per capita loss on any U.S. community, making it a fitting location for the final tribute. Hiking, Camping, Fishing, Hunting, Horse Trails, ATV Trails, Picnicking, and Scenic Byways are available at The George Washington and Jefferson National Forests. Nearly 1.9 million acres offer one of the greatest concentrations in the Southeast.
Recreation areas range from highly developed to the isolated solitude of the wilderness.
