The Fort Vancouver National Trust is planning to host a series of talks on military history, with the material being presented by the Vancouver Barracks Military Association.
The talks are scheduled for the third Thursday of each month, and will be held at the Marshall House, located at 1301 Officers Row at Fort Vancouver. The programs are free of charge.
All the speakers are retired officers or noncommissioned officers who served in either the Army or the Army Reserve. Fort Vancouver itself is an historic site, and is administered by the National Park Service. It was set up over the winter of 1824-25 as a fur trading site, and run by the Hudson's Bay Company. Today, visitors are able to tour the fort, which has been restored and has living historians portraying historical figures.
The speakers and their subjects are Frazier Raymond, talking about Buffalo Soldiers; Jack Giesen on ambulances used in World War I; Kelly Jones on the female perspective on Army culture; Daniel Sockle on ISIS/ISIL; and Bruce Mulkey on the Oregon Trail and current mass migrations.
The talks begin February 18 and run through June 16, with each talk lasting an hour from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. People who want to attend need to email the Barracks Military Association first.
Event sponsors could create Brochures outlining their talks, and distribute them to audience members.
