The Irony of It All

This is a partner event. Presented by Randy Entzminger. Follow Private John Mayer, a young German-Russian immigrant, as he goes through Basic Training, Infantry Training, and into battle in France near the end of WWI. John’s letters home give us insight into his military training, his love of God and Family, and his feelings as he prepares to go to Europe. The story ends with his death on the battlefield in France, on November 10th, 1918, the day before the armistice. The irony of it all… John died less than 150 miles from the village that his family left in 1817 to avoid conscription. Register.
