The American Soldiers Homecoming Tribute

August 10-12, 2008

 

A very special WWII event this summer in Dennison, Ohio (Tuscarawas County- halfway between Pittsburgh PA and Columbus, OH.  Panhandle Line of the PRR )

As the site of a WWII Servicemen's Canteen that served 1.5 million soldiers, we are inviting the veterans and their families back to Dennison - known as Dreamsville USA during the war,  for a Final Reunion on the Homefront.

This event is open and free to all vets.

If they ever received a cup of coffee and a smile at any Canteen, tell them to join the pilgrimage and come back to Dreamsville to this final salute to the massive effort on the Homefront.

Please help us get the word out.

They can get more info at dennisondepot.org or call toll free 1-877-278-8020 to get a packet of information.
