I have attended all but one of the last 15 annual conferences hosted by the Admiral Nimitz Foundation. As a student of World War II in the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO) I have thoroughly enjoyed every one of them! The date is Saturday, September 21, 2024, at the Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, Texas. Registration is now available for both in-person and virtual attendees. I’ll be there in person.

The subject of this year’s symposium is “The Manhattan Project.” The event moderator will be historian Richard B. Frank, author of many books on the Asian-Pacific War, including Downfall, a book about the months leading up to the dropping of the nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

If you are a student of history, I encourage you to attend.

Did you arrive here via a search engine? I am the author of the forthcoming book Heroes By The Hundreds: The Story of the USS Franklin (CV-13). In addition to writing about the bravery of the crews that saved her, I will discuss the lessons we can learn in leadership and decision-making and the changes the US Navy made because of those lessons.

Feel free to follow me on Facebook. There, I am M. Glenn Ross, Author. I also write a monthly newsletter, Glenn’s Action Report, about subjects I find interesting in my research. You can sign up for it below. Feel free to leave a comment or ask a question. Thanks for reading.
