Northwest Chapter (#6) Spring Luncheon on April 13th

Dear History Enthusiasts, Professors and Friends,

Hope you are all doing well!  Please excuse this impersonal invitation to a rare opportunity. The WWII Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge – Northwest Chapter (#6) are having a Spring Luncheon on April 13th and we’d LOVE to have you attend.

It is going to be a grand event and I’ve attached a flyer so you’ll have all the details.  Alice Miller and Peter Lahmann will be presenting a special program on military uniforms and their stories.  (I’ve put some information on Alice and Peter below.)  This is going to be a terrific event with great food, an awesome presentation, outstanding displays, and an opportunity to meet some people who made WWII history!

The flyer includes a registration form for anyone who would want to attend.  Also, we would appreciate your assistance in getting the word out about the event.

If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact me.  We look forward to seeing you in April!

With God’s love, Beth (and Jim) Pennock

Presidents of the Northwest Chapter of VBOB

Alice Miller is a nationally recognized historian who also specializes in military uniforms – more than 140 vintage uniforms ranging from World War I to Desert Storm to today. She tours and hosts shows and displays for Children’s Hospitals, United Service Organization (USO) galas, schools, senior centers, museums, fund-raisers, special military events, historical societies, and was invited to Pearl Harbor in support of a December 7th commemoration to portray women in the service.  She is also a Living History performer at the Museum of Flight.  Alice’s passion is sharing about women’s military uniforms – their histories, origins and the women who wore them so proudly.

Peter Lahmann did his first historical military display in November 1981.  Historical displays have led Peter from 24 years of displays for Armed Forces Day at Ft. Lewis, to the Beaches of Normandy, and to the frozen Hills of the Ardennes, supporting the display efforts of friends in Longchamps, just outside of Bastogne, Belgium.  He has done displays ranging from WWI to Desert Storm sometimes covering Marine Corp and Navy as well as World War II Infantry and Engineers.  He currently, in addition to uniforms, patches, equipment, and paper items, owns and maintains seven military vehicles ranging from WWII to Vietnam, five of which are running at the current time.
