Thanks to the National World War I Museum and Memorial, I return to New Jersey and the Great War sooner than expected.

We tend to forget that since we rejected the Treaty of Versailles, a separate peace had to be negotiated, and wasn’t accomplished until 1921.  I’d advise that you keep July 2, 2021 open for the big celebration.
