MARCH 2025 PROGRAM

March is Women's History Month and what a great time to hear about the women who served in World War II and Vietnam. We would like you to join us in celebrating these brave women by wearing your favorite hat to the luncheon. Our Speaker, Jim Triesler, is an award-winning educator who serves as the Director of Education for the Virginia War Memorial and as Historian for the National Battle of the Bulge Association. He and his students received a Save Our History Award from the History Channel for their work toward preserving thousands of WWII letters. In 2007 he was the Virginia Region 1 Teacher of the Year and in 2013 named the Outstanding Teacher of American History by the Virginia Daughters of the American Revolution. Jim has conducted many interviews and has traveled to the beaches, towns, and battlefields of Europe where our veterans have served. Jim has one adult son, Jonathan, who is married and lives in Farmville. Jim and his wife Liz, a pediatric physical therapist for 35 years at Children's Hospital, reside in Chesterfield.
