Please join us on Friday, September 18, 2026, from 6 to 8 pm for “A Thread Through History” – The Longest Yarn Documentary Film at the WWII American Experience Museum in Gettysburg, PA.

WWII American Experience Museum is dedicated to preserving and sharing the powerful stories of the World War II generation through an impressive collection of artifacts, vehicles, and immersive exhibits.

“A Thread Through History” – The Longest Yarn Documentary Film is filmed in five countries—America, France, England, Germany, and Belgium- and is an epic documentary about D-Day, the Allied campaign to defeat Germany, and the lasting human cost of victory.

The film explores the bonds between Allied forces, the communities that supported them, World War II veterans and their families, and the generations who followed. At the heart of the story is The Longest Yarn, a massive 80-meter (265-foot) traveling wool tapestry created by volunteers around the world to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
The documentary follows the tapestry’s remarkable journey and exhibitions throughout Europe and the United States, while highlighting the enduring significance of D-Day and the personal stories behind its legacy.

It is important to remember that on June 6, 1944, more than 156,000 Allied troops stormed the heavily fortified, Nazi-occupied French coastline. The invasion resulted in the deaths of an estimated 4,414 Allied service members, including 2,501 Americans, while total Allied casualties (killed, wounded, and missing) reached approximately 10,000. Tens of thousands of participants also suffered serious injuries and long-term psychological and emotional trauma.

Remembering the courage, sacrifice, and horrific toll of the Allied invasion to free Europe from tyranny is an essential part of our obligation to honor and appreciate the service members who made that sacrifice.

Check out the trailer and opening D-Day sequence from our documentary film, A THREAD THROUGH HISTORY, coming to Pennsylvania Cable Network, Philadelphia cable providers, and other stations and networks beginning in late June.

A THREAD THROUGH HISTORY 🎬

What began as an extraordinary tribute honoring the 80th Anniversary of D-Day grew into a powerful international journey of remembrance, storytelling, and preserving history for future generations.

From France to Cape May County and beyond, The Longest Yarn Exhibition touched the lives of tens of thousands through art, education, and the stories of courage and sacrifice that changed the course of history.

Now, that journey continues through the documentary film A Thread Through History: The Longest Yarn Story, a moving tribute to the heroes of the Greatest Generation and the people dedicated to ensuring their legacy lives on.

Thank you to the creators and makers of the panels, the volunteers, donors, visitors, and supporters who helped make this remarkable project possible and to American Veterans Media for creating such an incredible film. Your support helped preserve an important piece of history for generations to come.
