In cooperation with Military Historical Tours.

This Tour would not be possible without Military Historical Tours.
Eighteen years ago, Founder and President, Colonel Warren Wiedhahn, USMC (Ret), a Korean and Vietnam War Veteran, designed the concept for MHT from his vision of enabling fellow Veterans, their Families and Friends, Historians, Educators and Students alike, the opportunity to re-visit the battlefields of past conflicts. These journeys are undertaken to allow the participants to come to an understanding of the events that transpired and how they connected to the history of our nation, and to the world. This vision has carried us to famous battlefields, as well as those relatively unknown. From the trenches of the World War I, to the hedgerows of Normandy; from the "Black Sands" of Iwo Jima; to the hills of Korea and the jungles of Vietnam, MHT has transported thousands of 'pilgrims' to the areas of importance to them. Research is undertaken to insure that each tour is as historically accurate, significant and timely as possible. Pre-tour research materials, consisting of suggested reading lists, MHT 'History on Tour' booklets and copies of books of significant interest are provided to enable the participants to maximize their experience. Tours are limited in size to provide a one-on-one experience and are lead by an experienced professional who has traveled extensively in the specific location. Guest historians and speakers, plus tour hosts, are added to provide an in-depth perspective.
