Two of SCCAP’s Corporate Sponsors will also be on hand and will be presenting checks at the event. Representatives from Jersey Mike’s Subs and Highmark WholeCare will present their ceremonial checks during the “Parade of Faces” portion of the program. “ We are so deeply appreciative of these gifts”, said Megan Shreve, CEO of SCCAP “Discretionary donations allow us to fill gaps which keep critical programs like The Gleaning Project, our Food Pantries, Support Circles and our Homeless Shelters open, and allow us to provide appropriate support to families that lead to long term stability. These gifts enable SCCAP to administer programs that are not funded by the government but are critical to helping individuals in our community! Thank you to these Corporate sponsors and to all our donors for making such a significant difference in the lives of our friends and neighbors!” We invite community members, businesses, and supporters to join us for this extraordinary event. Your presence and contributions will help SCCAP continue its essential work, providing hope and support to those in need.

World War II Weekend 2024 Speakers | John Orloff
Masters of the Air: A Conversation with John Orloff
“2024 saw the release of the acclaimed series Masters of the Air on Apple TV+. Years in the making, this series takes viewers to the highs and lows of the air war in Europe 80 years ago, seen through the eyes of the 100th Bomb Group. Join us for a conversation with John Orloff, writer and co-executive producer of the series. Our conversation will cover the monumental task of translating World War II to the silver screen, as well as the real-life stories of the men and women of Masters of the Air.
John Orloff is an acclaimed American screenwriter known for creating and adapting complex stories in widely disparate genres. He was nominated for an Emmy Award for his writing on HBO’s “Band of Brothers”, as well as an Independent Spirit Award nomination for his screenplay for “A Mighty Heart”, the Michael Winterbottom film based on the kidnapping and death of reporter Daniel Pearl produced by Brand Pitt and Dede Gardner.
He’s spent much of the last decade researching, creating, writing, and producing MASTERS OF THE AIR, an epic nine-part miniseries Executive Produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, chronicling the 100th Bomber Group’s odyssey in the European Theater of World War Two. The show stars Oscar nominees Austin Butler and Barry Keoghan, as well as Callum Turner.
Orloff is fourth generation Hollywood (his great-grandparents on one side were radio comedy team Fibber McGee and Molly) and grew up in LA, but he now lives by a river in the Berkshire mountains in Western Massachusetts.”

In 2024, Homan co-authored his memoir with Dr. Jared Frederick, sharing his stories of the Air War in Europe in one of the last great memoirs of World War II. Dr. Frederick joins us to share Homan’s story and shed light into the dangerous missions, exhilarating experiences, and dedication to freedom shared by Homan in his memoir.
Dr. Jared Frederick has a lifelong passion for American History. Prior to his current position as a history professor at Penn State Altoona, Frederick served as a park ranger at Gettysburg National Military Park and Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.
