Educational Speaking Teams
Educating others about the Battle of the Bulge and the service and sacrifices of those involved is an important aspect of our Chapter's mission. Speaking teams provide presentations and show memorabilia to school classes and other groups.
Hearing about this important historic time from people who experienced it personally adds a unique dimension. The Gateway Chapter has conducted over 380 presentations since the first at Windsor Middle School on November 9, 1995. Chapter members believe that reaching out to educate the younger generations is the greatest opportunity to perpetuate the memories and sacrifices.
If you would like to arrange for a team to speak to your class or group, please contact Educational Chairman Jim Johnson at 314-487-8544.
