From the December 21, 2016, Chicago Tribune by Janet McConnaughey.
It's D-Days these days, and that's not the famous D-Day. This stands for "Digital Days." The National World War II Museum is seeking to move thousands of first-person accounts of experiences in the war online.
The museum is creating a vast online collection of 9,000 oral and written histories. This will take longer than the war itself lasted, with length figured to be 10 years and cost $11 million. They have more than 22,000 hours of audio and video and thousands of documents to be digitized as well as millions of words to be transcribed.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
