We have had a wonderful response to the history program on WWII at
the Northeast Georgia History Center on August 19th! If you are planning on
attending we wanted to encourage you to share with your children a
brief history of America's entry into WWII, who were our allies and
who we were fighting, where we fought,etc... Anything you can learn
before coming will make the veteran's stories richer for them!!
Also, in organizing this program, many people have shared their
family stories with us of relatives who served during WWII and it
got us thinking about doing something special with these stories. We
are going to set up a few tables in the back of the room for anyone
who would like to bring family pictures, memorablilia, etc to share
with the other families. If you have anyone in your family that
served during WWII (miltary pictures, medals, letters home, etc.) or
family members that supported them on the homefront (Victory
gardens, Rosie the Riveters, ration booklets, etc.) please feel free
to bring those as well! I have my parents trying to unearth old
pictures from boxes stored away down in Florida myself! : ) Please
label your pictures/items with your name and your family member's
name if you can. We are looking forward to seeing everyone! E-mail
or call with any questions.
