“Churchill and America” a triumph in Philadelphia! ✌️
This past week, Pennsylvania, for the first time in history, played host for the International Churchill Conference. From October 15-17th, Churchillians from around the globe convened in Philadelphia to celebrate “Churchill and America” and honor the 250th birthday of the United States. This historic conference began on October 15th with our opening reception at the Museum of the American Revolution, where attendees viewed General George Washington’s Command Tent, and other rare artifacts, from the Revolutionary War. The conference continued on October 16th and 17th at the historic Union League of Philadelphia with brilliant speakers and authors discussing Churchill’s deep and enduring connections to America. It all concluded on the night of October 17th with a black tie gala at the beautiful Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania with General James Mattis discussing Churchill’s indispensable leadership!
Churchill Society of Pennsylvania President, and ICS Board Member, Vince Benedetto, served as the conference co-chair and Pennsylvania host for this momentous event! Thank you to all who attended and to all of our amazing sponsors and fellow Churchillians. Pennsylvania did not disappoint and it was a gathering that will be remembered for ages!✌️🎩🇺🇸❤️
