Let’s close the week, with the Weekly History Wrap Up.
Who remembers the story of the capture of British Major General Richard Prescott during the American Revolution?
Let’s check in on Civil War news from the Memphis Daily Appeal, from 150 years ago.
Wisconsin World War II veteran, and former POW, Max Reed, will be making the Honor Flight to Washington D.C. to see the Memorial for the first time.
And lastly, Vietnam veteran, Raymond Scurfield, recently spoke on PTSD and war trauma.
Til Monday, have a historical weekend.
My friend, George Kveck will be aboard the Badger Honor Flight with Mr. Reed. George, who is from Three Lakes, WI, served in the 871st Bombardment Squadron in Saipan. He is 88 years old, and still manages the Three Lakes American Legion Tavern. A remarkable man.
