WORLD WAR II VETERAN

DEDICATED TO ESCORTING

VETERANS BACK TO EUROPE

Perhaps the only WWII veteran in the United States who escorts tours back to the battlefields in Europe, where he too once served, is a retired South Dakota doctor, Brooks Ranney of Yankton.  He and his wife Vi, have dedicated their lives to escorting our aging veterans, their families and friends, back to these historic places. The 12-day tour planned for a July 5, 2006 departure will fly into Paris, then visit French cities of Carentan, St. Mere Eglise, (where a special ceremony will be held honoring our Veterans), Utah Beach, Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach, St. Lo, the Palace of Versailles, Paris, Compiegne and Rheims. Other tour highlights are Luxembourg and the American Cemetery where General Patton is buried, Belgium with Battle of the Bulge areas and then into Germany.  Cologne, The Remagen Bridge, a Rhine River cruise, Weimar and the Concentration Camp at Buchenwald, Dresden and Berlin conclude the tour.
