Amateur Radio call sign WW2DDM was selected as: (W)orld (W)ar (2)
(D) (D)ay (M)emorial
It is the primary call sign of the Old Dominion Chapter # 202 - QCWA.
The Memorial (pictured above on the QSL Card) is described by the National D-Day Memorial Foundation.
"A massive triumphal arch with OVERLORD, the Allies' operational code name for the landing, inscribed thereon is the focal point of the monument. The arch itself frames the Blue Ridge Mountains and directs visitors toward the Memorial's other features. Final tribute, an inverted rifle with a helmet resting on its stock stands on the plaza near the arch. The Victory Plaza features flags of the allied nations that particpated in Overlord."
The monument is intended to serve as a permanent tribute to the heroic Allied Forces on D-Day and, in concert with the Memorial's Education Center, as a resource for preserving and teaching the lessons and legacy of D-Day.
