Description

Speaker: Judith Berson-Levinson. Between 1942 and 1945, more than 500,000 Army Air Corps service men and women were trained on Miami Beach. To house them, the U.S. Government took over 300 hotels and apartment buildings. These troops claimed they had been sent to "the most beautiful boot camp in America." Many of them "got sand in their boots," and vowed to return if they survived the war. And return they did! 2 p.m. lecture.
