Bedford’s Little Town Players hosted The Waynesboro Players in a performance of Tuesday Mourning. The musical, written by the late Duane Hahn, portrays Bedford’s experience on D-Day.

    The musical was first performed in Waynesboro in late 2009. Hahn had wanted to eventually bring the play to Bedford. Then, Hahn died unexpectedly early this year.

    Monday’s observance of the anniversary of D-Day was actually a dual anniversary. It was the 67th for D-Day and the 10th for the Memorial. The Memorial was dedicated by President George W. Bush on June 6, 2001, and the crowd included 200 D-Day veterans that day.

    D-Day veterans still come and the Veterans Hospitality Tent is a good place to meet them.
