The power of Wisdom

I hope that someone is videotaping these sessions. One of the museums owned by the same government agency as Surratt House is College Park Aviation Museum at College Park Airport, the world's oldest continually operating airport. They have been doing a similar project of interviewing WWII veterans before they all pass away.

A special sidelight of the project has been working with the last of the Tuskegee Airmen. To make it even more rewarding, they have enlisted high school students from our county to conduct the interviews (with supervision) and to do the technology. I believe this is part of a nationwide effort to preserve the human side of that awful war.

I hope that they will extend it even further into the Korean and Vietnam eras. And then, the Gulf War, and then..... To me, raised military, wars are awful things, but they often bring out the best in our warriors and serve to teach future generations what not to do.
