It has been great to see how the world has honored our "still" living veterans of D-day and WWII on the 80th Anniversary. All of them around 100 years of age, we won't have them much longer as our direct connection to one of the most pivotal events of world history. A huge part and purpose of our expeditions is to try and bridge that gap between generations, when that direct connection is lost with the inevitability of time. One of the best sites you can visit to engage with the experiences of the WWII generation is the Museum of the Army at Ft. Belvoir on the outskirts of DC. This photo is from a recent visit to the WWII gallery. While nothing beats a real life conversation with an aged veteran while they are still with us, this museum is ultra modern, immersive and interactive to put you in their shoes in their time.

"Happy" President's Day, and since it's an election year, that probably doesn't make you "happy" to think of the campaigning onslaught ahead of us. Maybe it'll make you feel better to know the presidential elections have always been contentious and controversial. This podcast is releasing a summary of each presidential election each week, leading up to the 2024 election. Some of the lesser known presidents are from some of the most interesting times.

Hey Teachers, here's another source for potential funding for travel for students with financial needs. The teacher has to apply directly on behalf of the students and one of the requirements is they must be using a SYTA member tour operator (such as Academic Expeditions) for their travel. They can apply for individual students (up to 4 at $1000 each) or a $5000 group scholarship. See info below:
