Take a Look at a Few of Our Past Patriot Experiences ...



AMERICA 250

On July 4th, 2026, members of PATRIOT MISSION's TEAM 250 gathered on a Pennsylvania Avenue rooftop in Washington, DC to celebrate our nation's birthday.

This unique weekend included a special All American State Fair on the National Mall, live speech by the President of the United States and presentations honoring US Veterans from eras going back to World War II. Each of the Veterans was personally introduced by the President and saluted one of several US Flags on display going back to 1777.


WW1 & WW2 European Combat

American Fighter Pilots served in the Lafayette Escadrille prior to the USA joining the fight. Captain Hamilton Coolidge was shot down in 1918 and our team was invited to watch a formal reburial ceremony in a small French town with today's famous 94th Aero Squadron; "Hat in the Ring Gang." The WWI tour included visits to Belau Wood, Verdun and Flanders Field in Belgium.

Our 35 guests joined world class historians in the UK learning D-Day preparations and departed the White Cliffs of Dover to Dunkirk, Dieppe, Bayeux and Normandy. After discovering unique elements of the D-Day Landings, we continued to Paris, Battle of the Bulge in Bastogne and Luxembourg where General Patton is laid to rest.


Marseilles & Corsica WW2 Experience

Most people know of Operation Overlord and the D-Day Landings in Normandy. What is not nearly as well known is the invasion of Southern France which began in August 1945 as Operation Anvil or Dragoon.

Ten guests joined an expert historian who was born and raised in the south of France. We attended multiple historic memorials honoring fallen WW2 P-38 pilots from the 1st & 14th Fighter Groups and retraced their routes of flight with local French pilots. We met living members of the French Resistance and learned how they helped recover an American Ace. We traveled to the island of Corsica to discover where pre-flight invasion planning happened... and sampled amazing local wines!


Sailing into History from Key West

Imagine joining fellow Patriots on a 60 foot sailing yacht. Discover the unknown history of the turbulent times in the Florida Keys and how the establishment of Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas changed America's future.

On this very private experience, 6 guests joined an expert captain and first mate along with a gourmet chef who prepared amazing meals. In between private lectures on history and national security, we enjoyed water sports, swimming and unique Florida wildlife. This is the ultimate combination of relaxation, education and camaraderie!


America's Front Line Warriors

Imagine joining fellow Patriots poolside with members of the Blue Angels and the US Air Force F16 Viper Demo team. Get to know these young warriors and why they choose to protect America.

Meet former special operations warriors who participated in some of America's most secret missions as well as a TOP GUN Instructor who teaches our F22 Raptor pilots to own contested skies. Hear from the Marine who is the focus of an incredible moment in the Vietnam War.


Espionage Experience

Imagine Joining a Team of World-class Surveillance Experts Secretly Tracking the "Spy" Responsible for “Possibly the Worst Intelligence Disaster in US History.*”
* US Department of Justice

Espionage has fascinated Americans… going all the way back to the Revolutionary War. Throughout our history, riveting stories of incredibly brave intelligence operators taking on impossible missions have boggled the mind.


December 7th, 1941 - 80 Years Later

The 80th Commemoration will unfold in the early morning hours of December 7th to mark the start of that fateful day. In1941, the first wave of Japanese aircraft attacked Battleship Row at Pearl Harbor while additional warplanes knocked out air defenses at Oahu military bases including Hickam, Bellows & Wheeler fields.

On your 7-day journey, visit seminal sites of the War, seeing its impact and remnants. Hear from experts on how World War II changed the world and how the attack on Pearl Harbor changed the course of the War.


Northwest Americana Road Trip

There is something very American about road trips. We started this one in Minneapolis, Minnesota and drove squarely into the Badlands of South Dakota. After stopping to see Mt. Rushmore and Devil's Tower of the Wyoming border, we moved into North Dakota and Teddy Roosevelt National Park.

It was a long hot drive in July to Custer's Last Stand in Montana but we had a welcome respite in the mountains of Yellowstone National Park, followed by the Grand Tetons and Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We then drove into Utah and had an amazing visit to a bird sanctuary near the Great Salt Lake. We covered an amazing amount of territory and learned a lot about our amazing heritage!


Churchill Experience in London, England

Sir Winston Churchill’s grand-daughter, Celia Sandys, has agreed to invest a full day with our members leading a historical outing to Chartwell, Sir Winston Churchill’s family home and garden about 20 miles outside of London.  

Celia will travel with us from London to Chartwell and join us for dinner offering extended Q & A to give us an amazing look into one of history’s most remarkable heroes. 


75th D-Day Commemoration Experience in UK & France

JUNE 6, 1944 - The world changed the moment young men stood for freedom and stormed the beaches of Normandy while paratroopers jumped behind enemy lines. 

Until you have crossed the English Channel in the dark, walked in these heroes’ footsteps, looked up at the cliffs imagining the machine gun nests mowing down your comrades… you can’t imagine what freedom is worth. 

Come with us and experience freedom like you never have. 


The Freedom Trail, Boston Harbor Yacht Cruise & Peak Fall Foliage*

Fall in Boston is a special time, at the peak of the exquisite color changes. The nip in the air reminds us of what it must have been like for the Plymouth Colonists and the early Revolutionaries to prepare for Winter. Not only did they fight oppression, they battled the elements. 

Freedom Trail experts led us in the footsteps of America’s Founders. We experienced key places where history was made including the Old North Church, the original State House and the site of the Boston Tea Party.

The 3-hour Boston Harbor cruise on a private yacht combined special speakers, breathtaking scenery and wonderful fellowship.  


Ronald Reagan Experience in Southern California

Dr. Larry Schweikart walked us through the Presidential Library, where he invested countless hours researching his most recent biography, Reagan: The American President

We learned things about the Reagan family few people know. During our time in Southern California, we traveled to the mountaintop Reagan Ranch, a.k.a. "The Western White House, " a special home that Ron & Nancy held dear. While in Santa Barbara at the Reagan Museum Larry gave a great introduction and offered deeper insight into America’s 40th President… and the experiences that prepared him for the presidency. 

We wrapped up the weekend on a VIP backlot, private tour at Warner Brothers Studios where Reagan made his films.
