The N.C. DNCR blog “North Carolina Stories of Service” and a corresponding Facebook page will endeavor to share stories of our state’s citizens involved in the U.S. military, whether as service individuals or civilians, and how these experiences have added to the breadth of history of North Carolina. Blog posts will revolve around brief service individuals biographies, anecdotes, events and anniversaries, interesting photographs, maps, posters, films, and other things that help to tell our state’s military history. Stories of anti-war protests, life as civilian wartime factory workers, refugees from conflict areas, school scrap drives, Red Cross and USO clubs’ work — all these and more will be topics in the future. We want people to be able to see the ways military service changed from period to period. These two new forums will include posts on general military history and stories shared from across North Carolina by NC DNCR’s different divisions, including N.C. Historic Sites, N.C. Division of State History Museums, State Archives of North Carolina, State Library of North Carolina, and other divisions. Local stories of service for all of North Carolina’s citizens is the goal.
