The Disabled American Veterans Department of Oklahoma announced that the Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise is set to receive the “Newspaper of the Year” award honoring its support of the disabled veterans of Oklahoma. The E-E runs a weekly column written by local historian Joe Todd about his interviews of World War II veterans. http://www.examiner-enterprise.com/
The award will be announced at the DAV’s annual state convention on July 11 at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Oklahoma City.
“The WWII veterans and their families are the winners,” said E-E Publisher Jerry Quinn. “We are proud to publish the history of these veterans and their contributions to our country’s freedom.”
Todd, also a war veteran, was preparing to retire as historian of the Oklahoma Historical Society, when Deputy Director Martin Teasley of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in Abilene, Kan., lamented about the wealth of veteran information that was going untapped.
“I said I would interview the veterans around Bartlesville,” said Todd, thereby beginning the WWII video interview project.
