SUMMARY:Third Thursday: Crossing Oceans\, A Journey of Two Men Across Time\, Distance\, and Generations
DESCRIPTION:Join is Thursday\, May 21\, at 7pm for a presentation from the Memorial Military Museum\n\nA chance discovery of a box of World War II military photographs in a Berlin\, CT\, thrift store led to an unexpected international collaboration. Efforts to identify the soldiers in the images connected Memorial Military Museum member Cat Schilling with a Dutch WWII remembrance project. After World War II\, the citizens of the small town of Margraten have dedicated themselves to honor the over 10\,000 servicemen buried in the nearby Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial. Residents adopted graves and descendants continue to care for them\, adding photos and information about the servicemen where possible. Learn the remarkable story of the Bristol men\, Hedvig Jussila and John Victor Quinto\, buried in this cemetery and how Cat Schilling’s collaboration with the overseas group allowed Jusilla’s son to see his father’s face for the first time and brought an image for Quinto to the Netherlands.\nDoors open at 6:00 and additional parking can be found in the rear of the building. The program is free to members\, with a suggested donation of $5 for others. Refreshments will be served.
