Description of Pictures: The Pritzker Military Museum & Library’s new original exhibit, Lest We Forget: Sailors, Sammies and Doughboys Over There in World War I, explores the experiences of those who served in World War I and the role the United States played in ending the first global conflict. The exhibit will feature photographs, maps, posters, rare books, artifacts and footage from the era. An audio tour will provide greater context to the war as well as feature readings from the letters and journal entries from soldiers who served.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Wikipedia Description: Pritzker Military Museum & Library
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pritzker Military Museum & Library (formerly Pritzker Military Library) is a museum and a research library for the study of military history in Chicago, Illinois, US. It was founded in 2003 to be a non-partisan institution for the study of "the citizen soldier as an essential element for the preservation of democracy" by Colonel Jennifer (at the time, James) Pritzker, who had just retired from the Illinois Army National Guard. Originally located in the Streeterville neighborhood at 610 N. Fairbanks Court, the library later moved to 104 S. Michigan Avenue in the Loop. The Museum & Library is supported by donations and membership.
Atlas Obscura Description: Pritzker Military Museum & Library
Chicago, Illinois
A military museum and library dedicated to the citizen soldier.

The citizen soldier has long been an important part of American military history. During the Revolutionary War, the idea of the citizen soldier stood in opposition to the Hessian mercenaries and British standing army, which harassed the American colonists. An important part of the ethos of the burgeoning American democracy, the citizen soldier represented the will of the people. Today, the idea is best exemplified by the National Guard, volunteers serving to defend the nation without becoming full-time professional soldiers.
Chicago’s Pritzker Military Museum & Library is a unique collection focusing on “the concept of the citizen soldier as an essential element for the preservation of democracy.” Opened in 2003, the library offers over 25,000 volumes on the citizen soldier, mainly from the 20th century, as well as original military posters, recruitment art, magazine and soldiers’ journals. Swords and other memorabilia from the Civil War, including glass negatives, are held in the collection. The Pritzker also boasts many artifacts related to the British statesman Winston Churchill.
In 2009, the Pritzker received the National Medal for Museum and Library Science.
