November 11th is Veterans Day
A federal holiday in the United States, Veterans Day, is observed annually on November 11th honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces.
AAMSAZ highlights a few Veterans on its website including:
Sergeant James Clark
A Tucson resident at the time, Sergeant James Clark was interviewed at Fort Lowell Park museum in 1984 where he talked about his 30 years in the Army after enlisting in 1918. Don Long and Paul Moake produced the video for Ft. Huachuca.
Sergeant Benjamin Brown
His great niece, Trudy Bradfield Taliaferro, tells the story about Sergeant Benjamin Brown who was a Buffalo Soldier and 1889 National Medal of Honor recipient. Brown was wounded in a robbery while protecting a stagecoach carrying Arizona payroll heading to Ft. Thomas.
The Women of the 6888th
The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion consisted entirely of African American women who initiated the much needed new mail delivery system. In his video, Terry Crews highlights the women of The Six-Triple-Eight who were responsible for tracking the soldiers and getting delivered to them the millions of pieces of mail that, beforehand, was not getting to the troops overseas in WWII.
