There is a revival of interest in history. Scores of military history collections and museums are all around our country. While some are removing these at best outdated and at worse offensive books from the shelves of our public libraries, others are trying to preserve them. Veterans are attempting to preserve the legacy of freedom that they fought for. Students are turning to the older generations for first hand information to learn history.
Innovative teachers make history alive.
A group is gathering books, documentary videos, and all sorts of military memorabilia to be housed in a special room in the new public library. This Military History Collection will be open to the public in the early part of June 1998. Special exhibits will include a collection of pictures and models of aircraft of the various time periods. There will be special display of Iwo Jima artifacts. A section on Women in the Military will include uniforms, pictures and articles of their participation in the past as well as the present.
