The timeline of America’s military history, marked by national and international conflicts and struggles, reaches beyond the founding of the United States and into the present. Much of this history is connected to the capital area—the backdrop for a day that explores three significant sites in a bus tour led by Brent Feito and Matt Seelinger of the Army Historical Foundation. The tour's itinerary includes Mount Vernon, Museum of the United States Army, and the Smithsonian's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.
