My high school student teaching team went on a field trip to the National Museum of the Pacific War. At back is my Australian Coast Watcher and Army Nurse. In front is my Combat Medic, Movie Star, early war Soldier, Filipina Guerrilla, Rosie the Riveter, WAC Lieutenant, Wendy the Welder, Japanese Soldier.
I have three other members that were unable to make the trip. They include a Singer with the USO (tours with Bob Hope on occasion) a Private with the 24th Infantry Division, and a Sergeant with the 38th Infantry Division.
I am trying to recruit another Japanese soldier, but they are hard to come by....even this one has his leggings wrapped over cowboy boots! That's Texas for ya!

Students of my World War II Teaching Team visit the Memorial Courtyard at the National Museum of the Pacific War and take time to honor the veterans that gave them freedom. Our W.A.C. Lieutenant places a flag at a wall of memorial plaques.

Kids will be kids! Even the best of the best get a little silly some times.

My teaching team: Soldiers and civilian workers combined forces to win the war. This exhibit was demonstrated at the high school alma mater of a Bataan Death March survivor, Tillman Rutledge, who recently passed. Tillman's surviving brother and sister were present as these students remembered his sacrifice and honored his memory by teaching students at this school about World War II.
