A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who joined us last night for a wonderful evening with author Jason Theriot! We enjoyed hearing Jason share his experiences interviewing World War II veterans, preserving their memories, and bringing their stories to life through his new book, "Frenchie".

Personal stories like these offer a powerful glimpse into the lives, sacrifices, and experiences of those who lived through one of history’s most defining chapters. We are grateful to Jason for sharing his work with us and to everyone who came out to celebrate history, storytelling, and the importance of preserving the past.
