By now, you have received your brochures for our “Grand Patrol” – actually TWO brochures for TWO “Grand Patrols”. We are going to visit places, meet people, and be part of history like never before – and YOU are invited to be with us. We are going places in these “Patrols” that we have never been before – and places that no group has been since the end of the war! But don’t hesitate!

Harry Cooper participates in the ceremony with WWII veterans.

Naturally, all Members are invited and at this moment, Members have the advantage of ‘early warning’ of these “Patrols” but in a month or so, you will see ads for these “Patrols” in major magazines, allowing others to join us for these historic events in Germany and Austria. Remember, we can put only 40 people on our bus and when the 40th person signs on for either of these “Patrols”, the bus is full. Don’t miss out!

Don’t be left out of either (or both) of these historic events. Reserve your place NOW. For further information, log onto our website at the address above, and click on TOURS. You simply can’t miss out – or you will indeed, be kicking yourself.

Our 20th Anniversary “Grand Patrols” will be awesome – don’t miss out!
