Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

Our busy lives can make it hard to keep up with loved ones and friends. Make the time today to pick up the phone and check on a buddy. You never know the positive impact one call can make.

Our January newsletter is out now. We're publishing a wonderful letter home from a soldier based on Santo - well... we think it was Santo. We also report on a Japanese submarine that was likely sunk not far from Santo. All that and lots more at southpacificwwiimuseum.com/n…

A fantastic aerial shot of Bomber #1 (Pallikulo) Airfield on Santo. Not sure of the date, but most likely 1943/44. What's amazing, is the size of the camp to the right of the shot - it's enormous!
