Overview
Welcome to World War 1 centennial News - Episode #52.
This New Year’s week, and next week, we have a special 2-episode series for you.
Next week marks our first anniversary for the show so wanted to share some of our favorite stories and segments from 2017 with you!
They are presented in chronological order. Part 1 takes us into July 2017, and Part 2 through the end of the year.
We are not going to spend time setting up each piece, but we will tell you the date, the episode and the article title each time - to keep it all in context.
WW1 Centennial News is brought to you by the US World War One centennial Commission and the commission’s founding sponsor the Pritzker
Military Museum and Library.
See above for the list of stories

Join us next week for Part 2.
Happy New year to all of you for 2018 and for 1918 from the whole team at WW1 Centennial News
The US World War One Centennial Commission was created by Congress to honor, commemorate and educate about WW1.
Our programs are to--
inspire a national conversation and awareness about WW1
We are bringing the lessons of the 100 years ago into today's classrooms;
We are helping to restore WW1 memorials in communities of all sizes across our country;
and of course we are building America’s National WW1 Memorial in Washington DC.
Thank you to the commission’s founding sponsor the Pritzker Military Museum and Library for their support.
