29th ID honors Bedford Boys in Omaha Beach Ceremony

U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Joseph A. Dinonno, former commanding general of the 29th Infantry Division and current XXX, delivers remarks at a ceremony honoring the Bedford Boys June 6, 2026 at Omaha Beach in Vierville-sur-Mer, France. On June 6, 1944, D-Day, 29th ID Soldiers assigned to Alpha Company, 116th Infantry Regiment, from the small community of Bedford, Virginia, were among the first to land on Omaha Beach at 6:30 a.m. That morning on the beach, 19 men from Alpha Company - the Bedford Boys - died, the largest per capita loss suffered by any American town.
