National WWII Museum
I decided to compare/contrast on The National WWII Museum and the American Museum of National History. Both museums I have always had an interest in. I am comparing/contrasting their webpages, locations and types of museums. My main point is all the information their websites give. I am glad that I got to do some research on them and learn more about them. First, I am comparing/contrasting their webpages. They decorated the webpages very well. I think the American Museum of National History could have used some more colors. The National WWII Museum was very colorful I loved it. Next, I am comparing/contrasting their locations. I noticed that the National WWII Museum is all the way in New Orleans, Louisiana. The American Musuem

    Wwii 442nd Battalion

    “Four-Forty-Second Infantry / We're the boys of Hawai'i nei / We'll fight for you / And the Red, White and Blue, And go to the front. / And back to Honolulu-lulu. / Fighting for dear old Uncle Sam / Go for broke! / HOOH! / We don't give a damn! / We'll round up the Huns / At the point of our guns, / And vict'ry will be ours! / GO FOR BROKE! / FOUR-FOUR-TWO! / GO FOR BROKE! / FOUR-FOUR-TWO! And vict'ry will be ours!” (442nd Unit Fight Song). Just as many historical songs are wont to be subjected to select refinements, the 422nd Unit Fight Song is no exception. Primitively the song had the phrases “One-Puka-Puka” in place of what is currently “Four-Forty-Second” suggesting the song was originally written for the 100th Battalion instead of the 442nd. It would also explain the deep affection demonstrated for Hawaii in the phrases, “Hawaii nei” which means “Beautiful Hawaii”. The fighters in the 100th Battalion were from Honolulu which would again explain the mentioned vows to return to Honolulu. Initially this all Asian-American dominated war unit was called the 100th Battalion, but as time progressed, it merged with the all-Nisei populated 442nd Regimental Combat Team. The term “Nisei” refers to people of Japanese descent who were born and educated in either the United States or Canada. The 100th Battalion was composed of mostly Japanese-Americans, most of who initially enlisted to escape the relocation camps establishments in Hawaii who were targetingJapanese people alongside Jewish people. The 100th Battalion fought so bravely during WWII, they consequently became the most decorated Regiment in U.S. history to the extent of being nicknamed after the very awards they received in abundance in repercussion for murder; the Purple Heart Battalion.…

    JFK Museum

    The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza was nothing short of an amazing experience. It provides an abundant amount of interesting information about John F. Kennedy and goes into a lot deeper depth than just the day of the shooting. I have always loved going to museums and finding out interesting things about the past, and it is even a bigger thrill when you are actually at the place where history happened. The Sixth Floor Museum provides information about JFK's early life, family, campaign runs, and shooting. Most of the museum is just on one floor of the building, yet it fits so much information and diagrams in it. It is also well organized and makes you follow a path that shows all of JFK's historical moments in chronological order and not just giving out information at random moments. The museum also shows the window that Lee Harvey Oswald peered out of to snipe down the president with the boxes where he propped his rifle. In addition, there are voice recordings playing from when the event took place to give you a closer experience. Even after fifty years since the shooting, it is still a haunting site see as you can almost picture the event happening right in front of you. And just incase you cant picture the event at first by looking out the window, the museum provides and helpful glass cased diagram of the buildings and roads showing exactly where in Elm St JFK was shot and where the shots were coming from. I felt the information given was unbiased and appeals to all people for it gives straight facts about what happened during JFK's presidency and the day of the shooting. Even for the people who do not believe it was Oswald, the museum also provides a whole bulletin board filled with conspiracy theories making sure that nothing is ruled out.…

    Holocaust Memorial Museum: Parallel Journeys

    Parallel Journeys was a book that I bought several years ago while attending the Belfer II Conference at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. At the time, I was in the process of trying to develop a syllabus for a Holocaust Literature elective course at my high school; and, after speaking with many Mandel Fellows, I decided to purchase certain books (at their recommendations) to review as possible inclusions for my course. As we know, time tends to be something precious and fleeting, and this particular book remained on my shelf as a "want to read." Eventually, I read Parallel Journeys, reviewed the book for the Mandel Fellowship Program, and now offer my perspective as a rural North Carolina high school teacher.…

    The Sutliff Museum

    Presentation is everything. People often over look something because the first impression they experience is lack luster. The Sutliff museum is full of timeless treasures, offering a wonderful insight to 19th century history and the underground railroad. Unfortunately, the current promotional material does not do the museum justice. It appears out date and doesn't grab the attention of an audience. I’d like to rebrand the promotional material for The Sutliff Museum so that it reflects an updated, fresh design that draws people to the museum. My intent is to design two brochures, an information flyer, and update the website layout.…

    Iwo Jima Memorial

    As a young adult in today’s society, I am constantly surrounded and influenced by images in the media. Whether a photograph, a film, a news segment on T.V., or something on the internet, visual images are becoming an increasingly powerful influence. During a time of war and destruction, America is constantly shown images of soldiers fighting, innocent citizens dying, and terror among those who want peace. Throughout history this has been the case with each war. However, it’s the images shown after war that I find most moving. The image of the five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising an American flag above the rubble of the Battle of Iwo Jima is one of the most powerful images I’ve seen. Iwo Jima was a battle that was fought from February 19, 1945 until March 26, 1945. America was attempting to capture the island from Japanese forces due to its two air bases and its close vicinity to the main lands of Japan. Japan was heavily armed but the American soldiers had a widespread navy fleet and a strong ground team and won the battle. When the fight had ended an estimated 22,000 of Japan’s soldiers had died along with 7,000 American soldiers. The dust had cleared and standing among the ruins were these American soldiers, proudly raising the flag of their country. This image of Iwo Jima, shot by Joe Rosenthal, not only shows the bravery and hard work of these soldiers through its use of emotional appeals, motifs, and composition, but also the destruction caused by war.…

    Japanese American Museum: The Internment Of Japanese Americans

    Visiting the Japanese American Museum was an extremely moving and often gut wrenching roller coaster ride of emotions both of happiness and sadness alike. The stories of triumph were ostensibly plastered along the walls in glass cases, but so too were the stories of terror and internment of Japanese Americans on no further grounds than their original origin. The Japanese were interned in barracks to supposedly prevent espionage from the US to Japan. The internment of the Japanese was akin to the internment of the Jews certainly not with as heinous of outcomes, but it is deplorable anytime one is treated differently and faces negative consequences simply based on their race. The stories of white empathizers really tugged at my heart strings,…
