* The Naval Order of the United States is leading a campaign to
erect a monument to commemorate the Navy's participation in the
June 6, 1944, invasion of France during World War II. Although all other
U.S. armed services and those of participating allies are memorialized
at Normandy, the U.S. Navy is not. The monument will stand near the Utah
Beach Landing Museum on the Normandy Coast. The monument will be
entirely privately financed, with no government funding. Visit the Naval
Order's Web site at www. navalorder.org for more information.
