In honor of Veteran’s Day, HMTC’s Museum and Programming Director, Dr. Thorin Tritter, hosted a virtual discussion on November 11, 2020, with Rick Beyer, President of the Ghost Army Legacy Project, to talk about this once secret military unit, their accomplishments during WWII, and their connection to both Nassau County and HMTC. The program shared a recently discovered “Ghost Army” flag. If you missed this program you can watch it now:
