Remembering D-Day

On June 6, 1944, an initial force of more than 130,000 servicemen from the Allied nations crossed the English Channel for an epic battle that changed the tide of World War II. Next summer, UCLA Alumni Travel will commemorate this 75-year anniversary with three trips to the beaches of Normandy. Take in-depth tours of historic sites by land, sea and river cruises. The cruise features a talk by Dwight D. Eisenhower II, grandson of the former president, and other renowned historians. Book now for the experience of a lifetime.
