BCM – Valley City has been designated an American World War II Heritage City. The American World War II Heritage Cities Program (AWWIIHC) honors the contributions of local towns, cities, counties and commemorates the stories of the men, women, and children whose bravery and sacrifices shaped the U.S. home front during World War II, and still impact our country today.  Only one American World War II Heritage City can be designated in each state or territory.  Foley played a critical role in this history, and we are pleased to recognize your jurisdiction as an American World War II Heritage City through the Program.    

Information about the engagement of the citizens of Valley City to marshal resources toward the U.S. World War II home front effort and to commemorating and preserving its legacies will be included on our website (American World War II Heritage Cities Program) and may be included in future AWWIHC program promotional materials.   As a designated city, your jurisdiction may request permission to display the AWWIIHC program logo (see attached) for non-commercial use subject to program guidelines. We are available and happy to provide guidance or assistance about logo use, or should you wish to conduct further research into your site, or the American World War II home front in general.  Please feel free to contact us at AWW2HC@nps.gov.
