I will be participating in the first Beyond Band of Brothers History Tour this year. This tour will honor the 65th anniversary of D-Day Normandy, June 6, 1944, and will trace much of Easy Company's (101st Airbourne Division, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment) WWII experience in Europe. The tour includes Easy Company sites of interest in England, a ferry crossing of the English Channel from Portsmouth to Normandy Beach. Caen, Carentan, Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, Colleville-sur-Mer, and Arromanches-les-Bains, France, will also be visited. The tour moves on to Nijmegen in the Netherlands, sites of Operation Market Garden, and the Ardennes Forest of Belgium. After stops in Hamm, Luxembourg, including the site of Gen. George S. Patton's grave, we visit Bastogne and the site of the Battle of the Bulge. Actual WWII witnesses will be a part of the tour throughout. We also travel to the Jewish Cemetery in Landsberg, Germany, and the infamous Dachau concentration camp. This particular tour may not be able to include the Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden but will also include time in Salzburg and Munich and much more. Anyone who books this now discounted tour through me at www.beyondbandofbrothers.com is welcome to a copy of my notes from that very special history tour. Jay
