Historical Speaker Series: Polar Bear Expedition

Description

Join us for the second installment of our Historical Speaker Series at the Packard Proving Grounds. In anticipation of Veterans Day, Mike Grobbel will deliver a compelling lecture on the US Army troops deployed to Russia during WWII and the Bolshevik Revolution. This primarily Michigan-based group, known as the Polar Bear Expedition, faced numerous hardships before returning to the United States. Many of these soldiers are interred at White Chapel Cemetery in Troy, MI. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about a unique chapter in military history and honor the legacy of these brave soldiers. Tickets are $5 for not-yet members and free for members! For more information, visit PackardProvingGrounds.org/HistoricalSpeakerSeries.
