[Reading-hall-of-fame] Memorial Day Message

[Thomas Sticht]

Greetings All! Monday, May 31, is Memorial Day when we honor those
Americans who have fought to bring liberty to millions of people who have
been oppressed or even enslaved around the world. And we remember and honor
the thousands of adult literacy teachers who lit the lamp of literacy for
military service members in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World
Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, and  the 911
terrorist attack in New York City.

 Historical notes about all these wars are available in a report entitled
“Fighting Illiteracy in Times of War”, available online at
