Forty Missions and Home
by Maurice "Vic" Duvic and Lisa
Uzzle Hadden |
It was a gutless, unprovoked attack on the United States and all it
stood for. The hatred shattered the early morning calm and moved a
nation from a time of peace to years of war and hardship. It prompted
young men to offer their service, and many their lives, to defend

uncertainty and fear. It was the original “day that will live in
infamy.” Read More... |

For Which It Stands
by George
S. Bockius |
Most people adapt their lives to natural cycles. Joe adapted his
to a need for support, service, and defense. A soldier in World War
II, the Korean War, and Vietnam, he earned seven Purple Hearts for
wounds received, among many other medals and honors.
Filled with sensational beginnings and extreme changes, Joe’s true
story begins with D-Day, WW II, and goes on to dramatic experiences --
serving with the 101st Airborne during World War II, liberating Nazi
concentration camps, being a Nurem-berg witness, serving a call to
duty in Korea, standing guard in Dallas when President Kennedy was
shot, and serving in Vietnam, where he was a prisoner of war and
suffered extreme torture.

quest
to learn more about every aspect of human endeavor and our place in

Bill Craig became fascinated with the Smithsonian Institution
on his first visit to Washington in 1949. Years later, after
starting a career in journalism, he got a job in the
Smithsonian’s Office of Public Affairs doing a wide range of
editorial and public relations projects. His six years at the
Institution were full of surprises and unusual experiences. He
recalls the time he climbed up a tower in the Smithsonian’s
“castle” headquarters past bird droppings and dead mice to
help feed a family of owls that had been introduced there to
give a historic touch to the building.
