Advice Planning a Multi-Generational WWII Trip

Hello! My grandfather served in the 95th Division (Iron Men of Metz) during WWII. I'm in the early stages of planning a family trip that includes not just my grandfather but also my parents and kids to visit historic WWII sites. I want to make it meaningful for all generations. What are some must-see locations related to the 95th Division and other significant WWII sites? Any tips on how to engage both the older and younger family members in learning about this history together would be super helpful. Looking forward to your advice!

What a fantastic idea for a family trip! For sites related to the 95th Division, definitely check out Metz and the surrounding areas in Lorraine, France. The American Cemetery and Memorial in Epinal is also a poignant stop. To engage all ages, consider interactive experiences like guided tours or even living history events if they coincide with your visit. You could also create a family scavenger hunt focusing on key events or stories related to your grandfather’s service. It could spark some great conversations! Have you thought about incorporating any personal stories from your grandfather? That might add a special touch for everyone!
