For D-Day’s 75th anniversary, retired Navy Captain Wilbur Jones, a nationally known Wilmington author and military historian, will discuss the U.S. Navy’s role (Operation Neptune) in executing the Normandy invasion.

He will lecture briefly at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., and will be available for questions and exchanges during the entire period. He will show a continuous slide show of the Navy’s D-Day involvement.

Jones will also sign copies of his World War II books including the award-winning “A Sentimental Journey” and “The Journey Continues,” both about wartime Wilmington; “Football! Navy! War!”; and “Gyrene: The World War II United States Marine.”
