There will be a ceremony on 5 August 2009 at the Memorial Amphitheater in Arlington National Cemetery at 0900 to honor the veterans of Operation Dragoon, the allied invasion of Southern France.  We will have 30 veterans of the landing present, primarily from the 3rd Infantry Division and the 1st Airborne Task Force.
 
The attached invitation provides further details and background as to why we are organizing the ceremony.  We hope you can come and help honor these great American and allied soldiers, and we would ask you to please pass the invitation on your circle of friends whom you think would be interested in a historic event.
 
Thank you very much!
 
Sincerely,
 
Monika Stoy
President,
Outpost Europe, Society of the 3rd Infantry Division
