SUMMARY:Special Exhibit Honoring Native American Servicemembers
DESCRIPTION:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is excited to announce a special exhibit honoring Native American Servicemen\, opening Tuesday\, November 3 and on display until Saturday\, November 28. November is National Native American Heritage Month\, and the museum salutes their service and sacrifice. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday\, 11 am to 5 pm ET with free admission. \n  \n“During World War I and World War II\, hundreds of American Indians joined the United States armed forces and used words from their traditional tribal languages as weapons. The United States military asked them to develop secret battle communications based on their languages—and America’s enemies never deciphered the coded messages they sent. “Code Talkers\,” as they came to be known after World War II\, are twentieth-century American Indian warriors and heroes who significantly aided the victories of the United States and its allies. \n  \nThe Code Talkers’ role in war required intelligence and bravery. They developed and memorized a special code. They endured some of the most dangerous battles and remained calm under fire. They served proudly\, with honor and distinction. Their actions proved critical in several important campaigns\, and they are credited with saving thousands of American and allies’ lives.” (Source: The National Museum of the American Indian). \n  \nVisitors are invited to learn about the Native American Servicemembers\, including members of the Choctaw\, Navajo\, Cherokee\, Pima\, Comanche and other nations that served their country in World War II. Guests can discover the story of the Code Talkers\, who used their unbreakable code based on their native tongues to help defeat the enemy and the stories of the seven Native American Medal of Honor Recipients from WWII. \n  \nCamp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle\, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West. For more information\, visit CampGordonJohnston.com or contact (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

SUMMARY:Apalachicola Area Historical Society Presents WAR Comes to Apalachicola! The Sinking & Rescue of the Empire Mica
DESCRIPTION:The Apalachicola Area Historical Society (AAHS) will be hosting a special program\, “WAR Comes to Apalachicola! The Sinking & Rescue of the Empire Mica\,” featuring Grayson Shepard on Tuesday\, November 10\, from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. ET at the Raney Museum Carriage House\, 126 Market Street in Apalachicola. The program is open to the public\, although seating is limited. There is no charge and donations are warmly welcomed. \n  \nOn June 29\, 1942\, the British tanker Empire Mica\, carrying fuel for the Royal Air Force during World War II\, was torpedoed by a German U-boat approximately 21 miles south of Cape San Blas. In response\, Apalachicola fishing boats rushed to the scene and rescued the survivors\, demonstrating the courage and compassion of the local fishing fleet during wartime. Grayson Shepard’s presentation will explore the sinking\, the dramatic rescue\, and current efforts to memorialize the valiant actions of Apalachicola’s fishing fleet. \n  \nAn offshore charter captain and avid scuba diver in Franklin County since 1999\, Shepard has a longstanding interest in military history and the Empire Mica story. He has visited the wreck site dozens of times and helped secure its designation as an underwater archaeological site on the Florida Panhandle Shipwreck Trail. \n  \nThis program is part of a popular series by the Apalachicola Area Historical Society. AAHS is a member supported 501(c)3 dedicated to advancing understanding of the cultural history of Apalachicola and its surroundings. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council. For details\, email AAHS.Raney@gmail.com\, leave a message at (850) 653-1700\, or go to www.apalachicolahistoricalsociety.org.
