Sunday Seven: Memorial Day edition

May 26th, 2008 · 1 Comment

  1. Names are still being added to the Vietnam Memorial. This NPR article and audio-slideshow shows the addition of Dennis O. Hargrove who sustained serious injuries in the war in 1969 and died eighteen years later.
  2. Another line-and-a-half has been added to this memorial since I last mentioned it in late March.
  3. Grandma, Dad, GrandpaThe web site of the National World War II Memorial. My grandpa, who died in 2006, volunteered for this war and pulled strings to get his name called early.
  4. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial web site has tremendous and profound interactive data. Find out the names of men and women who died on this date, for example, and read or leave tributes to the fallen.
  5. Flickr cluster of some stunning photos from Arlington National Cemetery, American hallowed ground.
  6. The last living veteran of WWI is 107 and living in West Virginia.
  7. Why didn’t we listen to their stories? A history professor explains in the Washington Post why WW1 is (and always has been) ignored. Makes me want to learn about it.

    Great Blog!! Buckles is a living legend! World War I has never really been taught. In the military history classes we had to take, the going assumption it was because it never fit the political agenda… 56,000 american lives lost in 6 months! Those numbers are no good, and no one wants to hear that kind of thing. It puts things into perspective with the current numbers of our so called atrocious wars going on now. It’s depressing to know how easily people forget. I highly enjoyed reading these articles!
