If you plan to attend the National D-Day Memorial observance Thursday, be aware that regular-sized purses and handbags will not be permitted. Approved bags are similar to those you may now encounter at large athletic events: clear plastic bags the size of a one-gallon plastic freezer bag or small clutch bags. Anyone attending will have to clear Secret Service screening areas.
