A Day of Days: Specialty Allied Units of the D-Day Invasion

On Saturday, March 16, 2019, at 2:00 pm, the Springfield Art and Historical Society will welcome back to the SAHS facility military historians Myric McBain and Cori Santagate for another exciting program, "A Day of Days: Specialty Allied Units of the D-Day Invasion."

June 6, 1944, known as D-Day, is celebrated for being the day that the Allied Armies launched their liberation of Hitler's Europe. The victory was in part due to a small cadre of highly trained soldiers, sailors, and airmen, performing a myriad of unique tasks. This June marks the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Military historians Myric McBain and Cori Santagate will present this free educational program covering many of the specialty units - naval, airborne, etc. - that made the Allied invasion a success. Period uniforms and artifacts will be available to view during the program. The Springfield Art and Historical Society is located at 65 Route 106, North Springfield, VT. next to Cota & Cota. This program is free and open to all. For more information call 802-886-7935 or email sahs@vermontel.net.
