Featured Guest Speaker

David Eisenhower There can be no more fi tting way to mark the 71st anniversary of the Allied Forces D-Day invasion than to walk on the Normandy Beaches

liberated by North American and Allied forces. Attend a dynamic lecture by our expert historian, intimately familiar with one of the most powerful world leaders of the 20th century and World War II.

DWIGHT DAVID EISENHOWER II, grandson of General and President Dwight D. Eisenhower, is a noted historian of World War II and the Cold War. His 1986, 900-page best seller, Eisenhower: At War 1943-1945, was a fi nalist for the Pulitzer Prize in history. David is Senior Fellow of the Foreign Policy Research Institute and a Public Policy Fellow at the Annenberg School of Communication and the School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania, where he teaches “Communication and the Presidency.”

In a pivotal moment in the history and culture of Europe’s Atlantic coastal regions, on June 6, 1944, Supreme Allied Commander Dwight Eisenhower gave the order for 133,000 Allied troops to land along an 80-kilometre stretch of heavily-fortifi ed French coastline. The invasion, known as Operation Overlord, was supported by 7,000 ships and 11,000 aircraft, and by day’s end, had gained the Allies a foothold on the continent to begin their march to free Europe. A portal to the region that altered the new world order, Normandy brings history to life.Scheduled guest speaker may be altered due to circumstances beyond our control.
