Lest We Forget is proud to host our second WWII Re-enactment, June 19th to the 21st. This year promises to be bigger and better than our first successful event. Last year over 10,000 visitors enjoyed the re-enactment that included realistic and authentic amphibious beach landings, war birds, land battles and historic displays.

This year the two beach landings will be followed immediately by a special event - a re-enactment of the Iwo Jima flag raising on Mt. Suribachi. Medal of Honor recipient, Hershel Williams will be on hand. Mr. Williams received his Medal of Honor for his gallantry on Iwo Jima. We will also honor all WWII vets that attend. We have special seating for veterans and their families.

This Father's Day weekend we invite you to bring your father and family to St, Joseph, MI's Tiscornia Beach for the start of the WWII Re-enactment 2009.
