NORMANDY VOYAGE APRIL-OCTOBER 1994 COMMEMORATIVE MEDAL
In 1994 the O’Brien, in what was to be an epic eighth voyage, steamed through the Golden Gate, down the west coast, through the Panama Canal, and across the Atlantic to England and France, where the O’Brien and its crew (a remarkable collection of old salts whose average age was 70 and a few cadets from the California Maritime Academy), participated in the 50th Anniversary of Operation Overlord–the Allied invasion at Normandy that turned the tide of World War II in Europe.
