Special Hyperlink for amelia!
As a youth services librarian and educator, I would just like to reach out with a quick word of thanks! Your Chapter's veteran resource links list has been a big help to me during these times of remote learning, as I'm finishing up an educational virtual project which started just before Memorial Day on veterans, military service and military history for a small group of students online - thank you very much for sharing with us!
I hope you don't mind, one of our youngest and most enthusiastic, Amelia has also asked if I could share a piece that she and her father found together on Military Service Badges and Insignia History, which includes a great breakdown on military branches, the history of wearing badges dating back to George Washington's Continental Army, awarding for outstanding performance, wearing pins with civilian clothing, etc. I've included it below if you'd like to review!
We noticed you don't have this one listed, but Amelia was actually the one to bring up that this could be something you might like to include for others who may also come across your list and have an interest in learning more about our veterans, like our group!
Thanks again for all your help here,
Barbara Lincoln
