Event Details

Retrace the steps of Sgt. George Rinsema, who fought in the European theater of World War II. Clyde & Beth Rinsema, George’s son & daughter-in-law, share George’s journey. Sgt. Rinsema arrived in France on the Normandy coast after D-Day, saw action in the Battle of the Bulge, fought at the Siegfried Line in Germany, crossed the Rhine and in April of 1945 met the Russians at the Elbe River in central Germany. Sgt. Rinsema’s amazing story includes his own personal combat photographs taken with a ‘liberated’ German camera.
