Join Friends of the National World War II Memorial for a special three-day public conference commemorating America’s 250th anniversary.
Gather with fellow history lovers, scholars, and patriots at the historic Army and Navy Club in Washington, DC for a dynamic exploration of how generations of military service—from the Revolution to World War II—have shaped the values that define our nation. Through powerful author presentations, meaningful site visits, and engaging conversations, we’ll reflect on the leadership, courage, and civic responsibility that remain vital to our democracy today.
