Is the 29th Infantry Memorial highway. The 29th Infantry was one of the first units to invade Omaha Beach on D-Day and suffered horrible casualties. Bedford,VA suffered the greatest number of men lost, as they were part of one unit of the 29th that suffered over 90% casualties.

The brave men of the 29th Infantry fought against Nazis. REAL Nazis, not like the pack of wannabee snowflakes with bad haircuts who desecrated Charlottesville and Virginia with their hate and white nationalist BS.
