BEDFORD, Va. – The next time you visit the National D-Day Memorial, you’ll notice a new Quonset hut.
The Robert “Bob” Slaughter Youth Learning Center tent is empty and will be replaced by a new Q-Hut for young visitors.
The center is the most popular with the youth who visit the memorial.
Thanks to a generous donation, the Q-hut will help foundation leaders preserve World War II history and give visitors a modern experience.
“To be able to have this educational facility will enable us to do a lot more with students in terms of technology and some teaching tools that we can’t currently do,” April Cheek-Messier, president and CEO of National D-Day Foundation.
