Exciting Tour Opportunities in 2013 with Valor Tours
Valor Tours, Ltd. has been leading authoritative tours to destinations of military historic interest for over thirty years. As well as going to key European battle sites in the company of WWII Veterans, we have visited every significant island battle site in the Pacific. Now, as age catches up with the Veterans, our traveling companions are drawn from a younger generation of history buffs and family members of Veterans anxious to see the places their fathers and grandfathers made famous. Many of the actual relics of battle remain to this day, the beached hulks of landing craft, the concrete gun emplacements, and the bullet-pitted strong points. On these tours we rekindle and honor the courageous exploits of America's fighting men and women who went off to war more than a half-century ago.
