Sen. Richard Burr will be part of a small congressional delegation who will lead the Memorial Day Ceremonies at the Normandy American Cemetery in France.
The Winston-Salem Republican will deliver a speech and help lay a wreath in honor of the thousands of American servicemen who lost their lives during the D Day invasion and its aftermath during World War II.
Burr, who is the ranking Republican on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, will be going with Senators Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Rep. John Kline of Minnesota.
The trip is being sponsored by the Senate Intelligence Committee and the delegation will also visit other unspecified countries.
