November's Government Document of the Month

Document of the Month

November 2010

November’s Document of the Month is a theme, rather than a single document.  In honor of Veteran’s Day, the Government Documents department has prepared a display including three documents plus some very interesting facts about this important holiday.  You can find the display on the top two shelves at the beginning of the federal documents stacks.  Take a look at Honor & Fidelity: the 65^th Infantry in Korea, 1950-1953 (D114.2:H75), U.S. Marines and Irregular Warfare, 1898-2007: Anthology and Selected Bibliography (D214.13:W23), A History of Innovation: U.S. Army Adaptation in War and Peace (D114.2:IN6).  If you would like to check out any of these documents, please take them to the Circulation Desk.
