This year, The National World War II Museum will mark November 11, Veterans Day, with a call to ears, not arms. Museum historians and curators are urging young Ameri-cans and their parents to reach out to the aging veterans of that conflict to hear their stories and learn from the wisdom of the men and women who fought and won the war that changed the world.

“America’s families need to hear the stories of our Greatest Genera-tion,” says Dr. Gordon “Nick” Muel-ler, president and CEO of the New Orleans-based Museum. “These cit-izen soldiers were witnesses to one of history’s most momentous events, and they have much to convey about courage, teamwork, service, and sacrifice, especially to our younger generations. We need to hear them now because there’s not much time left to listen.”

Someone who has taken the Mu-seum’s mission to heart is James Letten, a 17-year-old high school student from Metairie, Louisiana. On Saturdays, he volunteers at The National World War II Museum. For the past two years, he and his fa-ther Jim, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisi-ana, have worked alongside veterans restoring PT 305. The boat, a major artifact in the Museum’s collection,

was built by Higgins Industries in New Orleans in 1943 and saw ser-vice in the Mediterranean Theater.

“I think it’s extremely important for America’s teenagers to hear the stories of World War II veterans, so that they see past today’s media por-trayal of the War,” says James. “The stories you hear aren’t just ‘stories,’ they’re bits and pieces of a life that was nearly sacrificed for our free-dom. Listening to them, I under-stand the hardships our country once endured.”

“For many youngsters the Mu-seum brings something as far away and abstract like the War to life,” says Jim. “Working side by side with men who served in World War II and getting to talk to these living heroes enables James to view histo-ry in a whole different light.”

To help facilitate encounters be-tween families like the Lettens and World War II veterans, the Muse-um’s curators list six ways Ameri-cans and their children can “talk to living history.” “Not all veterans want to talk about their experienc-es,” says education director Ken-neth Hoffman, “but many do, and the following tips will help teach-ers and families find veterans who will share their stories with younger Americans.”

Temple – The Historical Society of Temple has joined forces with the Peterborough Historical Society and the Historical Society of Cheshire County to present a wide-ranging, unprecedented exhibition celebrat-ing the extraordinary glass-manu-facturing industry in NH from the Revolutionary War era through the Industrial Revolution.

Scheduled at the Peterborough Historical Society in Peterborough, from November 13 through Febru-ary 19, 2011, “New Hampshire Glass-

makers: 1780-1886” will be the first exhibit ever assembled of products and artifacts from the early glass-works of Temple, Lyndeborough, Suncook, Stoddard, and Keene. By including all five of New Hamp-shire’s historic glassworks, the three partner organizations spearhead a comprehensive overview of one of the Granite State’s most important early industries.
