Here's what people are saying about our war history adventures...
“Most Americans are not well informed about WWI before we entered in 1917. The 100th anniversary of the war proved an ideal time to learn about it! Also, the northeast part of France is beautiful, so it was an opportunity to see this part of the country.”
— Dolores from Mountain View, Calif.
“World War I is not emphasized here in the U.S., so I wanted learn what caused the war and how it was fought. It also filled an item on my bucket list!”
— Don from New Braunfels, TX
