As we look ahead to Military Weekend 2026, we want to take a moment to recognize and thank the incredible sponsors whose support helped make Military Weekend 2025 such a tremendous success.

Because of their generosity, visitors were able to experience historic military vehicles in action, engaging demonstrations, living history displays, educational programs, and a weekend dedicated to honoring the service and sacrifice of our nation's veterans. Their partnership helped us continue our mission of preserving and sharing military history for future generations.

Military Weekend 2025 was one of our most successful events to date, and that success would not have been possible without the organizations and individuals who chose to invest in this event and the World War II American Experience.

Every week (on Thursday’s or Friday’s) Harry Miller, a veteran of the Battle of the Bulge, joins us at the WWII American Experience to share his story and experiences from WWII to help educate others. He will be here this afternoon. If you are visiting Gettysburg or are local and never checked out our museum, this afternoon would be the perfect time! You will get an awesome experience and a chance to meet a man who was there to witness it all!
