George Luz, Jr. to Give Easy Company Presentation

George Luz presentationFor those of you who live near Kansas City, Missouri, put November 9th at 6pm on your calendar. Chelsey Clark, the Director of the Center for Military & Veterans Services  at Missouri Western State University, has invited George Luz, Jr. to share his stories about his dad George Luz, Sr. and fellow members of Easy Company. George’s presentation, “Through My Father’s Eyes,” includes photographs, stories and personal letters along with some rare audio of the men who were depicted in Stephen E. Ambrose’s book, Band of Brothers, from the man who grew up with them.

George’s journey began when he was 9 years old in 1965 at the 101st Airborne Division Reunion at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky. For more than 56 years, he has been blessed to spend the time with these men, their wives and their children. He feels it is his honor and privilege to share their stories.

Travel on the ORIGINAL Band of Brothers® Tour

Our Band of Brothers® Tour, the ORIGINAL, is already booking up for 2023. This is a bucket list WWII tour. As guest Curt Vaughn said of his experience on our tour:

“This was absolutely the trip of a lifetime. Chris Anderson, George Luz, Jr. and Henny (our great driver) made the tour truly unforgettable. Every day was a new adventure for me and my wife – – made even more special by the personal experiences relayed to us by Chris and George because of their friendships with the men of Easy Company (and George’s stories of his dad).” Curt Vaughan
