Japanese and WWII First observe the Visitors at the Arizona Memorial then go to the Battleship Missouri and observe the people there.

One of the most surreal experiences in my entire life was my reenlistment ceremony on the Arizona Memorial.

And the whole Japanese internment campaign during WW2 is another one of those forgotten chapters in American history. As a child in SoCal in the late 50's and into the 60's I remember seeing the abandoned camps and my father telling my brothers and I what they were.

I'm reading a couple books on the subject now but most of them are narratives from Japanese American citizens who were forced into the camps. I have yet to find anything worth reading that explains just wtf the government was thinking at the time.

More people should know about this.

 

The Ludlow site, 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Trinidad, Colorado, is now a ghost town. The massacre site is owned by the UMWA, which erected a granite monument in memory of the miners and their families who died that day.[6] The Ludlow Tent Colony Site was designated a National Historic Landmark on January 16, 2009, and dedicated on June 28, 2009.[6] Modern archeological investigation largely supports the strikers' reports of the event.

it's been heavily debated among anthropologists because anthropology was actually used heavily to facilitate making it all happen, and to this day rosalie wax's ethnography of japanese internees remains one of the biggest discussions of ethics in the social sciences.

Whatever you decide, just don't go to a place where ebola is running amok like Liberia or Texas

 

my wife and i have been considering heading to ghana over winter break as part of a program to help develop successful  models in local water distribution programs, but it looks like that may not be happening for obvious reasons

any other thoughts? either places, or conflicts that have been memorialized in some form at some point somewhere in the world?

The others that come to mind would be some of the other countries involved in massacres during WWII like what is now Ukraine. Also ethnic cleansing in Kosovo.

 

Your list seems better

Yeah but 12 deaths isn't a headline grabber. Chicago eclipses that in a weekend.

The absolute 100% best time I've ever had travelling was when I got in my car, started driving, and just figured it out along the way. When I got to the going spot, and did everything I wanted in that spot, just picked another random spot that happened to pop up and headed there. No planning, just headed out in some random direction and let my instincts guide me. It's an amazing feeling driving at full speed with the entire world as your destiny.

 

haha just posting this makes me want to do it again

      Yeah, Franklin was a good ST guy that could fill in at safety IN AN EMERGENCY. But he was still better than Scott, IMO.

      I get that, but given his college production, his actual skill set, and what he's shown in camp, he really just seems like the only way he doesn't at least play to his floor is if he can't stay healthy or he just gets a huge head and stops putting in the effort, the latter of which I don't see happening. So hopefully he stays healthy (knock on wood), but there's unfortunately no way of predicting health, you can really only predict a player not able to stay healthy if they already had problems doing so in college.

      Austin named starting center

      By Waldo · Posted

      In it self no it's not a bad thing. It becomes an issue when they brought back Austin to play on IR most of the season again. That's not a knock on Mays but the situation. It's BC at LG all over. But on the flip side that's how they were forced to go out and sign a good LG the next year.  All of the talk and hope of improvement comes down to guys like Mays taking that step. There is something developmentally going on that Im not impressed with going on with this team. Austin and Dalton were 2 guys they obviously can't lean on at this point and yet both are still here taking up space.
