Matt's Today In History

When I was in school I hated history class as it was covering to far in the past. There was nothing that I felt I would ever need in my life. I still think this way. What I think should have been taught started in about 1750 through 1945. We learned nothing of the war years that I consider to be so important. My kids know nothing of WW2 at all. History now is a love and I spend much time surfing the net for articles and stories of the past.

I have been listening to Matt's Today In History for some time and I thought I would pass this page on to you. You may like it, if you do bookmark it and check it daily to hear about the past.
