Club members participated in D-Day 67 years ago

This Week in National Press Club History

June 6, 1944: The D-Day invasion of Normandy begins. National Press Club members, both past and present, served during World War II in many capacities, as infantrymen, bomber and fighter pilots, war correspondents, in communications and Navy combat.

This Week In National Press Club History is brought to you by the History and Heritage Committee, which preserves and revitalizes the Club’s history through displays, panel discussions, events, lectures and the oral history project.
