History Dame

The original dame behind History in Under a Minute, History on the Road. Views = Me. Unsure how much I’ll use this account but at least I made it!
Today, we pause to honor every man and woman who raised their hand, took the oath, and served.
Each Veteran carried the same promise: to protect our freedom, even at the highest cost.
To all who served—thank you.

So here are my ideas below, and I’m open to your feedback!

Yesterday, I went on a day trip to do some antiquing.
On my drive, I started the American History Tellers podcast from the beginning. I’ve listened to their recent series but never returned to their first ones.

90 years ago, on 11-12 January, 1935, Amelia Earhart became the first person to fly from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland (Oakland, CA)—a flight of 2,408-miles. The flight was 19 hours.
Unfortunately, two years later, in 1937, Earhart would make history again for her disappearance over the Pacific.

She’s done! My M4A3E2 Battle of the Bulge model is completed just in time for my first snow day.
I love that I finished this during the 80th anniversary.
I did a lot of weathering on this one and finding the balance of the perfect amount of snow was difficult.
You can see close ups of my track

I started this model last year but decided that I was going to finish it this winter, the 80th anniversary.
Now that the holidays have passed, I can finish it!

80 years ago as the world rang in 1945, no one knew much larger celebrations were to come with VE and VJ Day!
A reminder no matter how you ended the previous year, a new year is filled with endless possibilities.
My ONLY goal for 2025 is to be 1% better everyday.
Happy New Year!

I often wear history shirts to the gym because why not?
Today I wore a design I collaborated on honoring the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.
I love being a history nerd!

After a tumultuous 12 days, the German offensive through American lines into the Ardennes forest of Belgium and Luxembourg has stopped.
The Germans have driven a wedge 50 miles deep and 80 miles wide at its base.

I’m kind of surprised I haven’t seen this movie talked about much within the history community, perhaps due to the fact it was released so close to the holidays.
It was phenomenal, in my opinion. sticking to the true stories of the women veterans. A good balance between humor and drama.

Posting this a day late but realized that yesterday, 25 December, was 100 years since the Christmas Truce in 1914.
The British Imperial War Museum has a good article on this: www.iwm.org.uk/history/the-...
The image below is an artist rendition created in 1915.
