Become a part of Virginia history when Profiles of Honor Mobile Tour stops in Manassas Oct. 6-7
The Virginia World War I and World War II Profiles of Honor Mobile Tour will make a stop in Manassas during First Friday and Fall Jubilee Oct. 6-7.
Modeled on the highly successful Civil War 150 HistoryMobile interactive tour, Profiles of Honor brings to life the state’s integral role in both wars, highlighting stories of Virginians who served in both conflicts.
During the mobile tour stop in Manassas, visitors are invited to bring their own WWI and WWII-related photographs and documents to be scanned for inclusion in the Profiles of Honor Scanning Program.
The Virginia WWI and WWII Commemoration Commission and the Library of Virginia have partnered to create a statewide online collection of original World War I and World War II manuscripts that still remain in private hands.
The project is looking for materials that reflect the social, political, military, business, and religious life in Virginia during the World Wars.
The project already has some materials available on their online site, http://www.virginiawwiandwwii.org/scanning and w,ill continue adding materials as the scanning program visits locations across Virginia.
