Return To Italy 2012 - 10th Mountain Division Promo

To find out more visit: http://10thmountaindivisiondescendants.org/italy.html

Every 3 years, the WWII vets return to their battle fields in Italy. The first trip was organized in 1963 and established the pattern for many future returns. The trip starts in the Florence Cemetery to honor their 998 fallen soldiers, with many 10th Mountain soldiers buried there. They then go to the Italian Hill towns where the 10th Mountain soldiers fought along side of the Italian Mountain troops. Descendants have been on these trips with their fathers since they began in the 1963. Descendants have been involved in the organization/running of these trips since 2000.

Definitely inspiring! I hope many descendants can go and hear the stories that are a part of their heritage.

Wonderful Promo! I've been on this trip, and the promo mostly covers the emotional aspect. It's also a wonderful experience for the pure, unadulterated FUN of 10 days in a largely un-touristy, fabulously scenic part of Italy, full of great personal history for veterans and their families, wonderfully friendly local people, and the great food and wine for which Italy is known far and wide.
