Commemorative D-Day Movie Screening

Please join the Alexandria-Caen Sister City Committee (ACSCC) in its second annual D-Day celebration and memorial featuring the acclaimed documentary film, “A Hero’s Welcome.” The film explores the impact of D-Day, sixty years later, on the Franco-American relationship through interviews with veterans, French citizens and American visitors to Normandy.

Alexandria’s sister city, Caen, was the most important inland objective of the D-Day invasion as Caen controlled a road junction with direct highway to Paris.  Today, Caen is the key city in France for visits to the Normandy landing beaches and D-Day sites.

This film screening is part of the ACSCC’s ongoing effort to increase knowledge about and interest in the trans-Atlantic relationship between Alexandria and its sister city in Caen.
