🎖️ Honor D-Day the Right Way!
On June 6, the Ordnance Training Support Facility at Fort Lee in Virginia opens its doors to the public for a free D-Day open house — 9 am to 4 pm.
Walk through centuries of American military history, from the weapons that won independence in the Revolutionary War to the armor, artillery, and machines that carried troops through the world's most defining conflicts. This is history you can stand next to.
Every piece on display tells a story of innovation, sacrifice, and the soldiers who made it work.
📍 Open to the public. No DoD ID? Enter through the Fort Lee Visitor Center.
Come see where American military ingenuity began — and how far it's carried us.
