Learn More About World War II 

Join us for a virtual presentation from best-selling author and journalist Alex Kershaw, as he tells the previously untold story of four of the most decorated soldiers of World War II - all Medal of Honor recipients - from the beaches of French Morocco to Hitler's own mountaintop fortress. As we reflect on 250 years of American history, we also remember the lessons of World War II and the legacy of past generations.
