Alright, here’s the deal. A bunch of you all are going to be getting together with friends and family this week. If you have some known history nerds in your family, give them a heads up about the YouTube channel. And for the rest, we’ve gotta convert them. 😅

Library of Congress Photo of the Day

In spite of being captivated by this collection, this is the last photo that I'll share from the Ansel Adams collection at the Manzanar War Relocation Center. This is one of the churches that was built at the internment camp where citizens of Japanese ancestry were held during WWII.

The people who were held in this camp would come to this church to worship and would have found strength from passages in the Bible like the one in Philippians 4 which says,

"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through Christ who gives me strength."

I've been doing some searching on YouTube and if there's another channel who has visited the place that we visited and has covered the story that we're covering on tomorrow's episode of History Traveler, I can't find it.

Just a few episodes left in this series on the 82nd Airborne in Operation Market Garden!

Library of Congress Photo of the Day

Yesterday, I posted a photo taken by Ansel Adams at the Manzanar War Relocation Center where American citizens of Japanese ancestry were interred during WWII. I've been so fascinated by this collection that I thought that I'd post a few more.

One of these days, I'd really like to get to Okinawa. Until then, I'll have to be content to experience the island through books and videos on YouTube.

I just finished watching a brilliant video on ‪@BattleGuideVT‬ that dives deep into the story of a Marine tank crew that suffered a catastrophic fate on Okinawa during the battle in 1945. Definitely worth your time to watch.

This is a photo that I have in my own personal collection. I wish that I knew what unit these guys belonged to and where they fought. The officer in the front row has quite a bit of hardware hanging in his chest.

On this day in 1998, President Bill Clinton became the second president in U.S. history to be impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives. One of the charges for his impeachment was perjury and the other was obstruction of justice. He was acquitted of both by the Senate in February of 1999.

You all have seen a lot of the videos that we've posted from the trips that we've taken with The Rifle to the WWII battlefields of Europe with the veterans who fought there. I was unable to go on the most recent trip to Belgium, but fortunately, my buddy Sander from ‪@SandervkHistory‬ was there to capture some pretty special moments. I think that you'll really enjoy the video linked below.
