MUSTERED INTO SERVICE 1991
"TEACHING HISTORY THRU LIVING IT"
Creed of the Living Historian
We are people to whom the past is forever speaking.
We listen to it because we cannot help ourselves, for the past speaks to us with many voices. Far out of that dark nowhere,
which is the time before we were born, men who were flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone, went through fire and storm to
break a path to the future.
We are part of the future they died for. They are part
of the past that brought the future. What they did – the lives they lived, the sacrifices they made, the stories they
told and the songs they sung and finally, the deaths they died – make up a part of our own experience. We cannot cut
ourselves off from it. It is as real to us as something that happened last week.
