Memorial Day, which was officially declared in 1971, by the United States Congress to observe and pay respect to all service members who paid the ultimate sacrifice. This Memorial Day, we honor the sacrifice of Soldiers like U.S. Army Private First Class Charles N. DeGlopper, who was killed in action at this location on June 9, 1944, in Normandy, France.
