"WWII and the Cocalico Valley"
From Saturday, November 17, 2012 running through September 28, 2013 the Society will honor those veterans of World War II with an exhibit. A special feature of the exhibit will be a wall of 105 photographs (mostly period) of WWII veterans who were residents of the Cocalico Valley at the time they entered the service. In addition to the wall of veterans' photographs, the exhibit will include displays addressing "Defense At Home", "Home Front Support" and "WWII Memorials of the Cocalico Valley". Display cases will exhibit military uniforms, accoutrements and medals. Also displayed will be a small grouping of war relics brought home from the Pacific Theater of War. In addition, a sampling of objects left by visitors at the grave of Major Dick Winters in Bergstrasse Lutheran Cemetery, Ephrata Twp will be on display. You will not want to miss it!
