Observing the anniversary and maintaining this and other similar memorials are crucial. Books and movies will always teach us what happened and why; however, 'being there' to me has always left a very powerful emotional experience.

I have yet to visit Normandy, but have visited similar places such as Pearl Harbor and Gettysburgh. The 9/11 memorial leaves me with much the same feeling.

The thing about Normandy and WWII in general is that the last of those who participated as adults will soon be gone. My grandparents both served in the Pacific (Grandma was a nurse) and I will never forget the stories. Even if they didn't participate in D-Day it was interesting to get first person reactions and remembrances of the time.
