 It's Memorial Day Weekend, a solemn time to remember those brave individuals who lost their lives in service to the country. We couldn't think of a better "educator" for a guest than Tim Gray, Filmmaker, President and Founder of The World War II Foundation and International Museum of World War II in Wakefield RI. Listen as he speaks of the humility of the survivors of WWII as they recount their personal stories. A generation of men and women "who saved the world", however decline any label of "hero". Tim has earned "6 Regional Emmy Awards for documentary film writing and outstanding documentary film. The Foundation has also captured dozens of awards in both domestic and international competitions. Most prestigiously, the World War II Foundation and Tim Gray Media have also been recognized with American Public Television’s National Programming Excellence Award". The Foundation gives back to the community, by providing resources to educators and schools for students to learn about these subjects omitted from the current school curriculum. Tim details the Museum's May 21st 2025 event, "Discussion with Ken Nomiyama, Born in a Japanese Internment Camp During World War II". A recounting of a second generation Japanese-American who was born in the Tule Lake Relocation Center in California, one of several U.S. government internment camps for Japanese-Americans during World War II, and how the history of his family's time in the California camp has had a lasting impact on his life. Tim goes on to hail the narrators of the many documentaries, including Bill Belichick, Gary Sinise, Jim Nantz, Tom Selleck and Dan Aykroyd, to name just a few, all who have personal connections to these conflicts and give fine voice to the soundtrack. You can imagine the scene when Tim speaks of receiving a phone call from Dan Ackroyd, as he's driving through Wakefield RI.
