The dinner will begin with the same thirteen toasts given 200 years ago and music will be performed by Music of the Regiment throughout the evening.

AFL Vice President Robert Kelly, Director of the Gloucester Museum of History, will deliver the keynote address. Don't miss this unique opportunity to relive history and celebrate the enduring friendship between France and the United States.
