Battles of the First World War Podcast

The Battles of the First World War Podcast goes in-depth into the battles of the Great War of 1914-1918. The goal is to really go into the details of how and why these battles unfolded and happened as they did. In telling the narrative of these clashes we can revisit some of the stories of the men and women who lived, fought, and died during the first titanic struggle of the 20th Century, for these people have stories that deserve to be told.

    We Are So Close: Help Award a Congressional Gold Medal for the WWI Hello Girls

    Following up on a podcast discussion we had last year to help the push to award the Congressional Gold Medal to the US Army’s Hello Girls of WW1, we have good news:   We are so close to reaching the numbers we need!   The Hello Girls of the WW1 US Army have never been officially recognized for the groundbreaking service they provided as America’s first women soldiers. In this call to action, an incredible group of people come back on to talk about why the Hello Girls should receive the Congressional Gold Medal.    Joining us are:   Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, representing Missouri's Fifth Congressional District, and the  original sponsor, H.R. 1572 Hello Girls Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2023: (https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/1572/text)   Dan Dayton, Former Executive Director, U.S. World War I Centennial Commission   Catherine Bourgin, granddaughter of Hello Girl Marie Edmee LeRoux    Carolyn Timbie, granddaughter of Hello Girls Chief Operator Grace Banker   Chris Christopher, Captain, USN (Ret.), US WW1 Centennial Commission   Diane Boettcher, Captain, USN (Ret.), genealogical researcher  Support a Congressional Gold Medal for the WWI Hello Girls!
