GNMP Winter Lecture Series- "The star of blue has turned to gold": Adams County's Native Sons in WWII- Dan Vermilya

Daniel Vermilya, Eisenhower National Historic Site (click link above to view program on our YouTube channel) World War II impacted every town and city across the United States. The towns and villages of Adams County, Pennsylvania were no different. Over 100 servicemen from Adams County were killed in action or died of their wounds in World War II. Of those, over a dozen were ultimately buried in Gettysburg National Cemetery. Some of these men were born and raised in Gettysburg. Others were tied to Adams County by their careers, education, or family. What they all had in common was they all called this area home. Join Park Ranger Dan Vermilya to explore the stories of these native sons of Adams County who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Second World War.
