Every year in early October we host an extraordinary WWII re-enactment at the AHM (Oct. 8th & 9th, 2022). There are over 350 Allied and Axis re-enactors who participate in "Battle for the Airfield." One of the most compelling presentations we host during this living history event is our WWII Veteran roundtable discussion. WWII veterans from all branches of service and rank come to talk about what they were doing during the war. We are looking for more WWII veterans to participate. Do you know an able WWII veteran who would like to join us? If so, please email Hunter Chaney at hchaney@collingsfoundation.org.
