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. Please use the 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]

Gallagher\, S.J.\nOn January 13\, 1940\, FBI agents burst into the homes and offices of 17 members of the Christian Front\, seizing guns\, ammunition\, and homemade bombs. J. Edgar Hoover’s charges were that the group planned to incite a revolution and install a “temporary dictatorship” in order to stamp out Jewish and Communist influence in the United States. This intriguing book chronicles the evolution of the front\, the transatlantic cloak-and-dagger intelligence operations that subverted it\, and the mainstream political and religious leaders who shielded the front’s activities from scrutiny. \nCharles R. Gallagher\, S.J. is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Boston College. In 2017\, he held the William J. Lowenberg Memorial Fellow on America\, the Holocaust\, & the Jews\, at the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies\, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum\, Washington\, D.C. In 2009\, his book\, “Vatican Secret Diplomacy: Joseph P. Hurley and Pope Pius XII” (New Haven: Yale University Press\, 2008)\, won the John Gilmary Shea Prize of the American Catholic Historical Association. He writes on Vatican diplomacy\, the Holocaust\, and the intersections of religion and espionage. \nAdmission is $5.00 for members and $10.00 for non-members.

Ten years in the making\, it is based on hundreds of interviews with American\, Filipino and Japanese combatants. But it is also a narrative achievement. The book seamlessly blends a wide-angle view with the stories of many individual participants. And at this book’s beating emotional heart is the tale of just one American soldier\, a young cowboy and aspiring artist out of Montana named Ben Steele. \nElizabeth M. Norman\, the author of two books about war\, teaches at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Education   Michael Norman\, a former reporter for The New York Times\, teaches narrative journalism at New York University. \nRegistration for this program is now closed. \n  \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

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. Please use the form below or call 603-569-1212 for reservations as seated is limited. Museum doors open at 6pm program begins at 7pm.

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]

Eva Lee Brown kept the home fires burning on the family farm in South Carolina while her brother\, Bill\, served in the China Burma India theatre of war. Eva Lee’s letters to Bill chronicled the day to-day-life of their little town. Bill’s letters to Eva were homilies about his duties and his longing to return home to the good ol’ USA. \nCatherine Ladnier\, who is Eva Lee’s daughter and Bill Lee’s niece\, uses these letters to tell one family’s story during World War II.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

A literary critic said of the novel: “Through the eyes of Fiona Denning\, a Red Cross Clubmobile worker\, and her colleagues\, we witness firsthand not only acts of courage and sacrifice\, but also the romantic bonds that grow even during the horrors of war. Healey’s superb research lets us see the decimated cities\, smell the doughnuts and coffee handed out at great risk on the front lines\, and hear the big band music—as well as the approach of the next bomb.” \nJane Healey left a career in high tech to become a freelance writer. Her passion for historical fiction became her new career when her debut novel\, The Saturday Evening Girls Club\, was published in 2017. The novel is based on the true story of a group of Jewish and Italian immigrant women in Boston’s North End at the turn of the 20th century. With the release of The Beantown Girls\, she continues to fulfill her dream of writing about lesser-known stories of women in American history. \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Instead\, they were arrested by the Germans and given a choice: disregard the armistice and continue fighting under Fascist or Nazi command or be taken to a German prison camp. An estimated 650\,000 Italian soldiers chose prison camp. Ferruccio Francesco Frisone was one of those soldiers\, and his story will be told by his son in this unique presentation. \nGiovanni R. Frisone\, PhD\, is a clinical psychologist. Along with his wife\, Deborah Smith Frisone\, he has been working for the past fifteen years to tell the little-known story of the Italian Military Internees through his father’s diary and drawings from the war years.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
