CEREMONIAL GROUNDBREAKING

FOR AMERICA'S WORLD WAR I MEMORIAL

On Thursday, 9 November, at 11AM (Eastern), the  U.S. World War One Centennial Commission (@WW1CC) will host a small ceremonial groundbreaking event at DC's Pershing Park, to thank our partners and supporters.

 

The event will feature distinguished leaders, well-known guest speakers, and music from the U.S. Army's Pershing's Own brass quintet. Our shovels will turn earth that came to us from the World War I battlefields of France.

 

The event will be streamed via Facebook Live at https://www.facebook.com/ww1centennial
