Fearing a rise in Soviet power and a decline in faith in democracy in Europe\, men like Dean Acheson and George Marshall worried that the hard-won victory in World War II was about to be lost.  In this illustrated lecture\, Professor Kurk Dorsey of the UNH History Department will show how these leaders reshaped the definition of the U.S. national interest to create a new foreign policy that would dominate U.S. politics for decades. \nAdmission is $5.00 for members and $10.00 for non-members. Please use the reservation form below or call 603-569-1212 for reservations as seated is limited. Museum doors open at 6pm program begins at 7pm. \n[wpforms id=”6602″] \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Paul Vincent\nIt is generally understood that when Franklin Roosevelt became president in March 1933\, he shouldered the burden of the worst economic crisis in American history.  Yet\, fraught as the Great Depression surely was\, it was backdropped by other concerns that grew in both severity and importance as his presidency progressed.  Among these were (1) a powerful inclination\, stemming from America’s involvement in World War I\, to shortsightedly forego international political commitments and\, linked with this isolationist impulse\, (2) establishment under his three predecessors of an increasingly restrictive immigration system.  This talk aims to outline the complicated linkage between immigration and isolation on the one hand and the growing international threat\, largely embodied by Nazi Germany\, that Roosevelt believed America faced as the 1930s advanced. \nAdmission is $5.00 for members and $10.00 for non-members.

SUMMARY:Code Talker: The First and Only Memoir by One of the Original Navajo Code Talkers of WWII

But when the Marines turned to its Navajo recruits to develop and implement a secret military language\, they created the only unbroken code in modern warfare—and helped assure victory for the United States over Japan in the South Pacific. One of those “Code Talkers” was Chester Nez. That was the English name he was assigned in kindergarten. And in boarding school he was punished for speaking his native language\, as the teachers sought to rid him of his culture and traditions. But discrimination didn’t stop Chester from defending his country after Pearl Harbor\, for the Navajo have always been warriors\, and his upbringing on a New Mexico reservation gave him the strength—both physical and mental—to excel as a marine. \nAfter growing up in New York and New Hampshire\, Avila has made New Mexico\, with its wonderful diversity of cultures\, her home. She worked as a social worker\, an artist\, an air traffic controller\, and a computer consultant before finally discovering writing. As a storyteller\, Avila hopes that her characters become fast friends with her reader.  Avila will be joined by Chester’s oldest grandson Latham Nez. \nBooks will be available to purchase. \n  \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:"When You Ride Alone\, You Ride with Hitler": Reconsidering the World War II Rationing Programs in the 21st Century

Macalaster\nWar Pigeons traces the remarkable service of homing pigeons in the U.S. Military\, from its beginnings after the Civil War to the birds’ invaluable communications role in every branch of the U.S. military through two world wars and beyond.  For 75 years\, through four wars on four continents\, these one-pound birds were the military’s most reliable means of communication\, carrying messages in and out of gas\, smoke\, exploding bombs and gunfire.  They flew through jungles\, across deserts\, mountains and large expanses of ocean.  Sometimes they arrived at their lofts nearly dead from wounds or exhaustion\, but they got their messages through. \nThe pigeon service in the U.S. was shut down in 1957\, but given the increasing threat of cyberattacks\, should the military restart a feathered branch? \nElizabeth Macalaster started her career as a marine biologist.  She turned to science journalism and worked for the U.S. Department of Interior and EPA on water quality issues.  Elizabeth now writes primarily science and history articles for newspapers and magazines.  Elizabeth is the author of Reckoning At Harts Pass\, an adventure/thriller in which homing pigeons play a covert role.  Elizabeth lives with her husband on the coast of Maine where she likes to hike\, row and watch land and seabirds. \nBooks can be purchased online at Amazon to bring with you and have signed by the author. \nAdmission is $5.00 for members and $10.00 for non-members.

SUMMARY:The Rifle
DESCRIPTION:Lecture and book signing by the author Andrew Biggio\nThe Rifle is an inspirational story and hero’s journey of a 28-year-old U.S. Marine\, Andrew Biggio\, who returned home from combat in Afghanistan and Iraq\, full of questions about the price of war. He found answers from those who survived the costliest war of all — WWII veterans. It began when Biggio bought a 1945 M1 Garand Rifle\, the most common rifle used in WWII\, to honor his great uncle\, a U.S. Army soldier who died on the hills of the Italian countryside. When Biggio showed the gun to his neighbor\, WWII veteran Corporal Joseph Drago\, it unlocked memories Drago had kept unspoken for 50 years. On the spur of the moment\, Biggio asked Drago to sign the rifle. Thus began this Marine’s mission to find as many WWII veterans as he could\, get their signatures on the rifle\, and document their stories. \nAndrew Biggio is a United States Marine Corps Infantry Sergeant and currently serves on the police force in Boston\, MA. He is a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan and serves as President of New England’s Wounded Veterans\, Inc.\, a non-profit which supports wounded veterans. Biggio holds a master’s degree in Homeland Security from Northeastern University in Boston\, Massachusetts. \nBooks can be purchased from the author or are available on Amazon to purchase and bring with you to be signed. \nAdmission is $5.00 for members and $10.00 for non-members.

SUMMARY:American St. Nick - Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:[et_pb_section][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text]The previously scheduled October 12 Education Program at the Wright Museum of WWII has been cancelled. However\, the documentary film “The American St\, Nick” will be screened on October 12 from 7-8:00pm. \nThe film “The American St. Nick” is based on the book by the same name by author Peter Lion. Lion will be present for the screening and will discuss the making of the film by the WWII Foundation’s Tim Gray. \nLion spoke about his book at the Wright Museum on September 12\, 2021. This is a wonderful opportunity to actually see the people\, places and events that comprise the true story of how a handful of American GIs bring Christmas back to a small Luxembourg town caught up in World War II. It is a heart-warming Christmas tale that spans seven decades and continues to this day\, honoring the sacrifices of all American soldiers who helped liberate Europe in WWII. \nMuseum doors open at 6:00pm and the Lion presentation begins at 7:00. The film will be shown at the Museum in the new DuQuoin Education Center. \nAdmission is $3 per person for Museum Members and $8 for non-Members. Reservations are strongly encouraged and can be made by calling the Museum at 603-569-1212.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
