Sgt. York’s 1941 Memorial Day Message Still Inspires
Sgt. Alvin York mug [ [link removed] ]
On Memorial Day, 1941, Sgt. Alvin York spoke at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This humble farmer from the backwoods of Tennessee began his military career as a pacifist. While he was serving with the U.S. Army during WW I, a Bible study with his commanding officer persuaded a reluctant York that it was right to help defenseless civilians even if it meant killing their attackers. In 1919 he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor after singlehandedly dispatching more than twenty enemy soldiers and capturing 132 on October 8 of the previous year. As WWII began in Europe in the 1930's, York remained a pacifist, asserting that America "“should fight a defensive war only"” and stay out of the new conflict. But learn how, by 1941, York's position had changed, and the old soldier understood that the fight for freedom was a never-ending responsibility. “"By our victory in the last war, we won a lease on liberty, not a deed to it."” [ [link removed] ]

Donahue, commanding general of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, said that although the nearly 1,850 soldiers interred at the site died more than a century ago, their service must never be forgotten. “"Honoring their sacrifices reminds us that freedom isn’t free and that the American soldier will go and fight wherever, and whenever, their nation calls",” Donahue said.

How WWI Fear Led To Decades Of Civilian Emergency Storage Culture
Uncle Sam preserve food poster [ [link removed] ]
World War I didn’t just redraw maps or shift world powers. It seeped into homes, into kitchens and cellars, and into the backs of closets where rusted cans outlived the presidents who were in office when they were bought. What started in muddy trenches and mustard gas-soaked air eventually crawled into American domestic life with a subtle but lasting effect: a new emergency storage culture. On the home front, people were told to prepare. And then, told again. The government offered pamphlets. Local councils pushed patriotic conservation. Leftover fear didn’t leave when the armistice was signed. Instead, it took root, lining shelves and shaping a new normal for ordinary families who learned to be ready for whatever came next. Read more about how " [ [link removed] ]"World War I introduced the idea that safety was temporary. And that what you kept in your basement might matter more than what you wore on your sleeve" [ [link removed] ]." [ [link removed] ]

U.S. Housing Corporation Built Nearly 300 Homes In Bremerton, WA During WWI
Bremerton House WWI snip [ [link removed] ]
In 1918, as World War I intensified overseas, the U.S. government embarked on a radical experiment: It quietly became the nation’s largest housing developer, designing and constructing more than 80 new communities across 26 states in just two years. These weren’t hastily erected barracks or rows of identical homes. They were thoughtfully designed neighborhoods, complete with parks, schools, shops and sewer systems. In just two years, this federal initiative provided housing for almost 100,000 people. Many of the homes are still standing today. Find out how this program by a now-shuttered agency offers a revealing lesson on what government-led planning can achieve during a time of national need. [ [link removed] ]

Doughboy MIA for May 2025
Lieutenant Harvey Lawrence Cory [ [link removed] ]
A man is only missing if he is forgotten.
Our Doughboy MIA this month [ [link removed] ] is Harvey Lawrence Cory , born on October 16, 1896, in Rochester, New York. During his youth, he attended preparatory school in Ridgewood, New Jersey. He later enrolled at Princeton University, where he was a member of the Class of 1917. In April of that year, he attended Officer’s Training School in Plattsburg, New York, where he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. He was sent to Camp Dix, New Jersey, and assigned to the Machine Gun Company of the 310th Infantry, 78th Division. On May 19, 1918, he sailed for Southampton, England, aboard the "SS Beltana". After five days in Southampton, the regiment continued to France, arriving in Calais on June 9, 1918. The regiment then spent two and a half months training with the British Army.
On September 12, the regiment arrived in Bois de Granay, where they were held in reserve for the St. Mihiel Offensive. On the night of September 15, they began to relieve the battered 6th Marines on the Northern edge of Bois de la Montagne, South of Charey.
Preparations began on the afternoon of September 21 for a raid on Mon Plaisir Farm. At 1:00 a.m. the following day, the 3rd Battalion was to conduct the raid under the cover of a box barrage. The objective was to establish a line 100 meters north of the farm, allowing engineers to destroy German dugouts and fighting positions.

Lee A. Dunham
A Story of Service from the Stories of Service section [ [link removed] ] of "doughboy.org"
Lee Dunham
*Submitted by: William Dunham {son}*
Lee A. Dunham served in World War I with the United States Army. His dates of service were 07/24/1917 to 03/23/1919.
My father, Lee Dunham, was a member of the Ohio National Guard and served in the 37th “Buckeye” Division, 148th infantry, in the First World War. He fought with the 37th Division in the Battle of the Meuse-Argonne in September 1918 and was transferred to Eyne, Belgium in the Ypres-Lys sector near the end of the war.
After the war, Lee returned to Ohio, where he worked as a barber. One day, when I was about 10 years old, I was in the barbershop waiting to get my hair cut. I was snooping through the drawers of the back counter of the shop and came across some medals -- a Purple Heart and a Silver Star! As I remember, this is what he told me about how he got the medals: “My company was walking down a road being strafed by a German airplane. Suddenly I found myself on my back, but with no apparent wounds. I got up and went on with the company. The company was later under a gas attack and I was overcome, but survived. Upon examination of my gas mask, I found a slug from the strafing plane had hit the charcoal-filled canister of the gas mask and knocked me flat, but also compromised the effectiveness of the mask.” For the injury of being gassed in action, Lee was awarded the Purple Heart.
When I pressed him to tell me about the Silver Star, he said, “I got it for being damned scared.”
I am the youngest of Lee’s three sons; all of us served in the U.S. Army between 1942 and 1946. We were all grateful to survive another war.
