Greetings!
In honor of Veteran's Day we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the men and women who have served in our armed forces, in peacetime and in war.
Navajo Code Talker
Veteran's Day brings all kinds of profiles and remembrances. Here is a great one for you: the story of the last remaining Navajo Code Talker, Chester Nez, a Marine who received a Congressional Gold Medal in 2005. The audio interview talks about the development of the code, and the difficulties for a Navajo in wartime. Enjoy!  | | 10% and more off USMC |
Semper Fi In honor of the birthday of the Marine Corps last week, we have discounted Marines across the store 10%-15% off. You'll find figures, books, and more! It's only for this week, so hurry.
World War II in Real Time
I'm using Twitter ( follow us!) more and am continually surprised by what it offers. Check out @RealTimeWWII, which is tweeting World War II in real time.
A sample tweet (for 11/12/1939): Winston Churchill, 1st Lord of Admiralty, now speaking on wireless, reflecting on 10 weeks of war. Listen now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=... Similarly, the New York Times is famously revisiting the Civil War in its Disunion section, which uses contemporary reporting and modern discussion to follow the war as it unfolded.
What kinds of history in real time do you follow? Send me your suggestions.
