Join Roland Gaul as he takes us through the key moments that changed the course of WWII and how these events have strengthened the relationship between Luxembourg and the United States. This event is a unique opportunity to reflect on this important time in history and to honor and remember the heroes of WWII.  \n \n  \nAbout the speaker:  \n \nRoland J Gaul graduated from the “Lycée Classique de Diekirch” (junior college) in 1975 (science/Latin section)\, where after he continued his higher education at the Royal Military Academy (ERM/KMS) in Brussels\, Belgium as an officer candidate of the Luxembourg army.  Gaul entered the American Embassy in 1986\, where he became the local representative of the United States Information Service (USIS) as the Embassy’s public liaison and information officer. In 1997\, Gaul accepted the position as liaison officer of the (SREL) security service of the Luxembourg Ministry of State\, a position\, which he held until 2004. As of 2012\, he muted to the Luxembourg army to take over the lead of the National Museum of Military History in Diekirch\, as its Director/Curator\, which he had founded himself as a volunteer 30 years ago. \nAs a volunteer\, Gaul is the initiator (1982) and long-term curator of the Diekirch National Museum of Military History\, which he started in 1984 with the assistance of four associates under the initial denomination of “Diekirch Historical Museum.”  As the President of the “Dikricher Geschichtsfrenn” (Diekirch Historical Society) and the head of a group of volunteers\, he is responsible for the museum’s general administration/management\, historical- and scientific research\, design\, new acquisitions\, promotion\, public relations\, international correspondence and liaison\, as well as contact with WWII veterans.  In this same capacity\, Gaul provides guided tours and conducts field studies for civilian and military groups in his area of expertise.  He also sits on the board of the joint executive committee of the National Museum of Military History as the museum’s representative and adviser.  He is a member of the international advising committee of the “Battle of the Bulge” Historical Foundation and a honorary member of several U.S. WWII veteran organizations. \n
