I rode Railway Mail trains in the 1890s and prevented train wrecks. Now I'm at @PostalMuseum. I've also got an e-book! Terms:

Certain her son would die during #WW1, Hosteen Nez Basa, a Navajo woman, made this blanket for his burial. When her son returned from the front alive, she donated the blanket to a fundraising raffle to benefit the local Red Cross, raising close to $1,500. #StoriesOfService

These are parts of Cook's U.S. Army Signal Corps uniform in our collection. Author Elizabeth Cobbs writes of the Hello Girls, "They withstood submarine warfare, cannon fire, influenza, aerial bombardment, and petty-minded bureaucrats." #StoriesOfService

#StoriesOfService on the home front include the planting of war or victory gardens to help increase food production during the war. The National War Garden Commission published materials like this Manual with instructions & tips ➡️ https://t.co/w5W5OYLt6T #Armistice100

One of the first things the Red Cross did was make Comfort Kits for the soldiers of the 102d Regiment before they left for France. These kits helped provide soldiers a taste of home when they went to the front. #StoriesOfService #wwi #ww1 #WorldWar1 #Armistice100 #philanthropy

This pocket watch is forever frozen in time at 2:33! 🙌

It was worn by Owen Hill Kenan, of New Hanover County, NC, while onboard the sinking #Lusitania! Pulled down with the ship, he resurfaced in a rising air bubble and was rescued hours later! #StoriesOfService #Armistice100

Women's #StoriesOfService during #WorldWar1 changed the course of American democracy. This postcard hints at a question suffragists asked during the war: if the nation was comfortable with women joining the war effort, why wasn't it comfortable with women voting? 🗳 #Armistice100
