I'm honored to serve as a panelist next month, at the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, Texas, alongside historians Richard B. Frank and Jon Parshall, for the 80th Anniversary Commemoration of Iwo Jima. I will present on the Iwo Jima operation itself.
I had the pleasure of consulting on this NHK World Japan docu-film featuring wire-recording interviews with Marines on the island of Saipan during the fighting in June 1944. English version is out now.

June 1944.
About a week before the Marines made the assault at Saipan, they had this little thing over in Europe they called "D-Day." Maybe you've heard of it.
Looking forward to leading this next small-group expedition. Be part of that experience.

#OTD in 1906, Grace Hopper was born. Rear Admiral Hopper was an barrier-busting pioneer of computer programming and a major advocate of innovative thinking. During her 1986 appearance on Late Night with David Letterman, she gave her famous demonstration of a nanosecond.
"As the ship turned to take the survivors away from Iwo Jima, some turned for a final look; others did not. But all of them sensed that it was watching them escape over the horizon. And for the rest of their lives they've known... It's still out there."
