Abstract
This study investigates the material origins and symbolic operations of the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia as it has evolved over the past fifteen years. The study also analyzes the ideological myths of American nationalism underpinning this symbolic site of remembrance and national identity. The checkered success of this heritage site as well as its strange ideological role during the post-2001 global “War on Terror” have much to say about how art is used in different corners of empires to serve different political purposes.
