Alumni, staff, cadets and their families have an incredible opportunity to experience world history first-hand while traveling confidently and safely with expert guides.
On D-Day (June 6, 1944), 79 years ago, American and Allied forces entered the continent of Europe on the Normandy coast to begin “The Great Crusade” to liberate Europe from German oppression.
In Normandy, Americans fought with courage, determination and honor. They saw their comrades pay the ultimate price in the defense of freedom and liberty. They fought on, persevered and achieved victory. To those who fought and served there in 1944, going back to Normandy is an opportunity to learn more about those monumental days in June 1944 when victory or defeat hung in the balance. The “Back to Normandy” tour covers the entire 50 miles of the Normandy beachhead from the Merville Battery to the Crisbecg Battery. Visit the battle sights and drop zones as you walk the ground of heroes.
Join the Valley Forge Military Academy Alumni as they travel Back to Normandy! The ties between Valley Forge Military Academy and College (VFMAC) run deep in Normandy. A number of VFMAC alumni live in Normandy. Some of these alums are expected to join us during the tour. Hope you will be able to be with us!
