We, the WWII War Brides Association, were invited to the dedication ceremonies for the new World War II Memorial in Washington DC over the 2004 Memorial Day Weekend. We arranged to hold our annual reunion during the same week. It was a very proud, emotional week for us.

The WWII War Brides Association urges you to consider joining so many of your sister brides in fellowship and joyful memories of your heritage, joys and adjustments in your adopted country.
