The webinar will close with a special screening of the seven-minute educational short "They Deserve to be Remembered” on the war and those who fought it, narrated by Gary Sinise.
Participants will receive a digital copy of the 100-page "WWI Genealogy Research Guide,” authored last year by Dudek with a foreword by Col. Gerald York, grandson of Medal of Honor recipient Alvin York. It is provided courtesy of the Doughboy Foundation and the World War One Centennial Commission (WW1CC).
