2024 Bridge to History Ambassador Jett.

"My interest in WW2 began when I was around six years old. My day came home from an antique store with an original US WW2 steel helmet that he had purchased for me. From that day on, my interest has turned into an obsession. We regularly spend weekends traveling and looking for any WW2 items both Allied and Axis to add to my constantly growing collection. Whenever we have someone new come over to our house, they never escape with out having to take the “tour” of my WW2 collection. Whenever I add something new to my collection, I feel like I have saved part of history and as long as I have it, it’s story can be told and it can live on forever.
There are many reasons I would love to be one of the lucky kids chosen. First, would be the amazing opportunity to see battlefields and sites that I have only ever read about and seen pictures of. Second, would be the chance to expand my knowledge of WW2 and learn about these events in greater detail and bring back what I have learned so that I can pass on and share that information with others around my community. While telling others about my experiences and what I learned while there, I may be able to spark an interest in someone else who may also come to love learning about history and WW2 as I do."
