The Association of Graduates, in collaboration with The National WWII Museum, has assembled a fitting commemoration of the 75th anniversary of D-Day. We believe this would be an especially meaningful experience for you. That is why we are extending an early invitation to our most loyal former students and friends, ensuring you and others close to the museum will have the opportunity to obtain your preferred level of accommodations. It took years to plan for D-Day. It takes only five minutes to call 1-877-813-3329, ext. 257 and reserve your place in this exploration of history. We look forward to seeing you there!
