Description

America has been involved in wars large and small since before the founding of the nation. Embark on a journey through 2 centuries of US military history and learn about the country’s significant contribution to the victory of the Allied Forces during World War II. Discover the spirit of American patriotism. The 2-hour tour will begin in front of the historic Federal Hall, which after the American Revolution served as a meeting place for the Congress of the Confederation, the nation's first central government. Explore Downtown New York with your Expert Guide to discover the complex history of all the wars and conflicts that the US was or still is involved in, with special focus on WWII. You will make a stop at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial then continue to the East Coast Memorial, which honors the 4,601 American servicemen who died in the Atlantic in WWII. Take a stroll along the leafy paths of Battery Park and see the Korean War Memorial. From a distance, you will also be able to spot the American symbol of hope - Lady Liberty. The last stop of this walking tour will be the American Merchant Mariners’ Memorial, which depicts a merchant marine vessel that was sunk in WWII. Immerse yourself in unforgettable stories of patriotism, heroism and ultimate sacrifice and pay respect to those who have fallen, killed or wounded in the scourge of war.
